School Holiday Dates East Anglia – New Year, New Calendar to write all the school holiday dates on! Thankfully this year Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex seem to be pretty much in sync together (don’t get me started on the other year when Norfolk and Suffolk were different weeks for some of the holidays!)
So if you are thinking of getting away this year and weren’t sure when the school holidays are taking place, do not fear, I have rounded them all up for you for the three counties!
Please remember these are the main dates from the county council websites, but there may be some random teacher training/ inset days added and if you are an academy or a free school they may have decided to do them completely differently (handy for getting a good holiday deal, not ideal if you have kids in different schools or counties!)
