The summer holidays may feel like they have only just begun, but before long it’ll be time to buy uniforms, pencil cases and book bags and send your kids back off to school for a new year.

Be your children starting school for the first time, or heading into Sixth From following their GCSE results, a new school year is always both daunting and exciting – for both parents and students.

Here’s a rundown of when parents in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland can expect their children to return to the classroom.

When do children go back to school in England?

Most children in England go back to school on Thursday, September 1 2022, a few days after the August bank holiday.

That’s the day children are expected back behind their desks in most parts of London.

But you should check with your local council as each will operate their own term times.

In major cities like Leeds, for example, children go back to school on Monday, September 5.

When do children go back to school in Wales?

Most schools in Wales will reopen their doors on Monday, September 5, though again it depends on where you live.

If you’re in Newport, for example, children are due back on September 2.

In places like Anglesey, Conwy and Wrexham, though, they’re due back one day earlier.

Make sure to check with your local council before you start making any packed lunches.

When do children go back to school in Scotland?

Many pupils in Scotland will be expected to return to classrooms during the week beginning Wednesday, August 17.

That’s because schools in Scotland began their summer break earlier than schools elsewhere in the UK.

Again, you’d be wise to check with your local council or the school itself to make sure what’s happening.

When do children go back to school in Northern Ireland?

Schools in Northern Ireland resume operations on Thursday, September 1.
