It feels like we’re always planning for holidays. When you have children booking off time around school allows you to spend family time together. Maybe exploring a new part of the country of jetting off somewhere exotic. Let’s have a look at when the Easter 2023 School Holidays take place and how you can make more from your time off work.
When Are The Easter 2023 Holidays?
Easter 2023 falls on Sunday 9th April. This is a week earlier than last year. Some schools will take a week before Easter and a week after as the two week school holidays. Others may take two weeks before and some might take two weeks after. Depending on your local council will change when you Easter 2023 holidays off school will take place. I know that our children break up on Friday 31st March 2023 and don’t return to the classroom until Monday 17th April 2023. You might also need to take into account inset days for your specific school. Regardless of school holidays, it’s worth knowing when the long weekend falls for Easter 2023, so you can make the most of your time off work.
Maximise Your Days Off Work
If you take the odd day here and another day there, you quickly burn through your holiday allocation from work. Without really unwinding or being able to relax. If you are looking for a longer amount of time off, you can use only four of your work holiday days and enjoy a huge ten days off work. Be combining your vacation allowance with the Bank Holidays, simply take 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th April off work and you’ll be out the office from Saturday 1st April 2023 returning on Tuesday 11th April 2023.
The same trick works if you take the 11th, 12th, 13th & 14th off work, giving you a break between Friday 7th April 2023 until you return to the office on the 17th April 2023. Of course, you could use book the eight dates mentioned as holidays and have 16 days to relax. This is how you make the most of your holidays to enjoy Easter 2023.
Obviously this trick won’t work for everyone as we all work different shifts and have various work commitments. Some don’t have Bank Holidays off work either. However, if it applies to you, it’s a great way to enjoy a long break with the family. Plus you don’t have to take too many days from your annual allowance, leaving you more to enjoy during the rest of the year.
