It's only a few days until the magic of Christmas is well and truly over as the kids go back to school.

Children go back to school in a week's time

After a fortnight off for the festive season, children at schools run by councils across the Black Country and Staffordshire will be re-entering classrooms next week.

For anyone whose thoughts have started turning to the next time pupils will be out of school - either to arrange a fun holiday, childcare, or even to work out when to go away at a time when it's a bit quieter without lots of children about - then these are the 2024 dates to remember.
