Thank you for that. Am I right in thinking the A Levels are usually over before the GCSE's too?
What a great way to forget about exams too

Why are you so anxious to go at that time rather than later in July? I guess it's down to priorities

The last scheduled A level here (Wales) is 17 June 2019. When my DD took her GCSE’s we flew out on 26 June which was just after her last exam so I think they finished around a week after the A levels.

Every time we have gone after exams, she has said it was the most amazing way to relax after all the stress and hard work, so she definitely felt it was a good time to go

This holiday will be on a much stricter budget than our recent one but I still want to do three weeks. I'm likely to hey better flight prices then from what I have been seeing for 2019. I also have a better chance of getting that amount of time off work if most of it is outside the main school holidays.

The couple £k saved will soothe the pain of her "hating" me for it

Obviously they don't really hate us, but all teens do like to be melodramatic.

I'm sure I wasn't the same at 18 - but I bet if I ask my mum I was...

All teens like to be melodramatic seems like the understatement of the year 😂 I have an 18 yo daughter too 😀

My Dd's A levels went into the 1st week of July but not for those subjects. I wonder if they change year on year?
The results are always on the Thursday around the 17 th Aug.
