I'm thinking of coming "home" for a 3 week visit with my 3 kids end of June in to July( approx 3 weeks) Can anyone tell me when the kids in sheffield finish for the summer? My neices and nephews go to school at king Edwards I think and I'd like to try to arrange it so they wouldn't have to miss out on school.I've heard that the schools in England can be really touchy about taking time off.I don't want to ask my sister as I want to surprise her !:D

Thanks :)

See this link on the council's website http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/education/our-schools/terms-and-holidays/2004-2005

Thankyou for the link, I didn't realise that Sheffield didn't get out of school so late?:mad: but because I haven't been home in over 5 years now I'm still determined to come home .I'm sure we will work around the problem some how !:)
