Principal and DP holidays

    Just wondering in your schools, how much summer hols do each get?

    On paper, it seems the P must be there for state exams and from 16th Aug onwards, DP in theory is supposed to get June off and be back 1 week before teachers. How does it fair in your schools?

    Any school I have been in the principal usually takes July and returns just before the results are out, I have interviewed for positions into the first few days of July but no further.
    DPs vary every one I've met has been in until the exams are over in June but generally return a few days before the teachers anyway

    Our principal tends to take three weeks at the end of July. She might do "only" 4 day weeks during early July and early August.

    Our DP is always there until end of exams and comes back from LC results.

    Our principal and DP are there until the exams finish, I don't know if they are there for the last few days of June as I wouldn't be in myself, but I have seen the principal's car in the car park the week after the exams finish when I've been passing by before. He normally takes July for his holidays.

    They are both always in on results day in August. Again I'm not normally around/ in the school before then so I don't know if they are in or not. I get the impression that they are in sorting out timetable etc before the results come out.
