A late Easter has meant that for the first time in many kids' lives, their two-week spring break won't actually include Good Friday, Easter Sunday or Easter Monday.
Leeds schools break up this Friday for a fortnight's 'Easter' holiday and return to the classroom on Monday April 15 - around a month after the February half-term ended.

The next break is the spring bank holiday on May 6, followed by the half-term holiday from Friday May 24 until Monday June 3, when schools re-open.
The six-week summer holiday begins on July 24.
