The Brits are different but so are their holidays!!!

Most schools in England, Scotland and Wales broke up for their annual two-week spring break on Thursday 29 March and this respite will last until 13 April, although some regions may have slightly different dates.

 

It seems a shame that youngsters in Northern Ireland will have to get back to school a week earlier, on 9 April.

By then children will have eaten hot cross buns, painted chicken eggs in bright colours, gone on egg hunts and received gifts of chocolate!

 

If you happen to belong to the working world you won’t see such a big difference as there is just a four-day weekend to enjoy and that is thanks to the double bank holiday of Good Friday and Easter Monday.

After the Easter break, the next UK bank holiday will be on Monday 7th May for the May bank holiday.

Meanwhile, for us at Accent is back to school tomorrow 3 April.
