Hampshire School holidays are always fun, even if they’re just for a day. They give you time to catch up on the latest movies, try out the hottest gaming titles and see friends from other schools.
However, none of these holiday events will be viable without planning. Also, no planning would work if you don’t know when you’ll be having holidays.
If you’re schooling or enrolling a kid in a Hampshire school and you’re curious about when you’ll be having school holidays, you’re at the right place.
This post will outline all the Hampshire school holidays that the council has announced yet and when they’re taking place.
