Poster: A snowHead
|
Does anyone know of a site that "consolidates" UK School holidays? I don't mean that I can search on a school, area, town, county to find the dates for one school, I'd like a "french" style list of dates with what schools (or at least, educational authorites) have as holiday dates.
I can't find anything...

I suspect that like much else in French education school holiday arrangements are far more centrally prescribed than they are in the UK. Scotland always has different (earlier) summer holidays, private schools vary, as do state schools. It would be a hugely more complex list than the French one.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@pam w, oh, absolutely, but as there are sites with databases that have all the dates, it's surely not such a hard thing to do to do a sort of pivot on the data tables and rather than searching by school, recompile the stats by date.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@under a new name, that page is only about England (and Wales), rather than the UK. I looked at the Scotland page and it is the usual rubbish of thinking that school holidays are similar across the country - there is probably more variation within Scotland than in the rest of the UK.
The most obvious example is that Perthshire, for instance, has a fortnight in October, but neighbouring authorities may have only 1 week and sometimes that is not coincident with either of our weeks; Perth Easter holiday 2016 is the same as Aberdeen, but Fife is a week earlier etc.

@Yellow Pyranha, It's good enough for my purposes (judging when to increase my rental prices, parent gouging scum that I am).

Obviously, you looked in the wrong place:

I didn't post it again because it doesn't seem to provide that much info. Each teaching establishment is free to set its own dates so it's really difficult to come up with anything comprehensive.

@altis, Now you mention it, I had seen that and meant to save it as I thought it would be useful.
