School holidays - eagerly looked forward to by students, somewhat dreaded by parents. Parents know they will have to deal with bored kids, no regular groups/classes, childcare as they work and many disruptions they don’t get through term time.

Parents also look forward to less rushed mornings (no 9am bells!), time with their children, no homework and not having to keep up uniforms and packed lunches.

So we’re starting this category on the blog to help parents make the most of school holidays – let’s face, you’re likely to have 3 or 4 sets of holidays every year for over 10 years so you may as well get used to them!

If you have any suggestions for school holiday activities or coping strategies, please add them as comments or use our contact form to share them with us.
