It might seem like an endless six weeks of summer holidays are stretching out ahead of us, but it won't be long before you'll realise the kids have outgrown their school uniforms.

Local education authorities set the holiday dates for all schools under its control. Academies set their own dates but often coordinate with other local schools.

Technically, term time ends in Telford on Monday, July 22 but the authority has proposed the date as a PD day, meaning most (if not all) schools will break up on Friday, just like kids in the rest of Shropshire.

Here's a list of term dates for schools in both Telford & Wrekin and Shropshire Council areas:
