School holiday dates changing next year

Wednesday, 18 June 2014 00:00

Holiday dates during next year's TT are changing and will be longer than usual.

Schools will be closed for half term from Monday, June 1st to Friday, June 12th - which includes both practice and race week.

During this time GCSE and A-Level students will still be sitting exams along with their UK counterparts.

Parents are being reminded of the change to allow them to make holiday plans - the holidays will revert back to the more normal pattern the year after.
