With April underway and Easter fast approaching, schools are waving goodbye to the 2022 spring term. In Greater Manchester, the majority of schools have already closed for the Easter break, while others will break up at the end of this week.
But as the dates of Easter change each year it's not always easy to work out when the school holidays will come about. Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon following the spring equinox, which is usually on or after March 21.
The long Easter weekend falls in the middle of the month this year. Good Friday will be on April 15, followed by Easter Sunday on April 17 and Easter Monday on April 18.
