No council matches that. Try a shorter word, or the county rather than the town.

We're adding councils steadily. If yours isn't here yet, the guide to splitting the school holidays works whatever your dates, and the free holiday plan template gives you somewhere to write the rota down.
A note on whose dates these are.
Each page lists the dates the council publishes for the schools it sets dates for, and we list the first day pupils go back rather than the first day staff do — so where a council counts a training day as day one, our start is a day later than theirs. Academies and free schools set their own dates. Always check your child's school calendar too. How we source and check every date is set out in our methodology.
