Christmas has been and gone and with the new year hangovers starting to wear off, parents across the country will start turning their minds to making sure their children are ready for the return to school. Schools in Wales broke up quite late in 2022, on either December 21, 22 or 23, meaning a later return for the start of the spring term than in England.
In all 22 council areas in Wales, pupils start back at school next Monday (January 9). There will then be six weeks before half-term week begins on Monday, February 20. Schools in Wales will break up for the two-week Easter break on Friday, March 31, returning for the start of the summer term on Monday, April 17.
