We're halfway through the school year, but we know that if you've got young ones in school, you'll be looking to the month ahead in order to plan your holidays.
Mid-term is also fast approaching, and if you're looking for a long weekend away with the kids, you want have to worry about taking them back to school until February 19.
On top of that, Easter falls in mid-April this year, meaning that you'll have well over a week to plan a break, from the 9th to the 17th.
The Department of Education have shared their approved calendars for the 2020, 2021 calendars, which you can find below.
It should be noted that schools have the discretion to take a number of staff training and school development days. Pupils do not attend on these days and such days are likely to differ from school to school.
