* There are discussions between the DES and various stakeholders as to whether the date of the Easter Break should be subject to change due to winter closures that might have occured earlier. The idea is that if a school closes because of bad winter weather, then the start of the Easter Break would be delayed by up to a maximum of 3 days. A possible start date might therefore be Wednesday 4th April. We will inform parents as soon as the final outcome of these discussions is communicated to us.
