Christmas holidays will come quicker for South Ayrshire pupils this year as the council have announced an additional public holiday will take place in December due to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
As the Queen’s state funeral took place on an established public holiday, many councils across the UK pushed the public holiday back 24 hours with schools closed for three days instead of two last week.
South Ayrshire schools and council staff returned to work as planned with an additional public holiday under consideration.
