It may seem like yesterday you were buying uniform and school books for the new school year after summer - but it's almost time for the October half-term!

Here are the essential dates for your diary:
Hillingdon: Half-term is from Monday October 26 to Friday October 30
Ealing: Half-term is from Monday October 26 to Friday October 30
