When to take annual leave in the UK academic calendar*

*varies across institutions, don’t @ me

Teaching Time ❌ (obvs)
‘Reading Week’ ❌ not if you have kids of a certain age because haha this does not coincide with school holidays you fools
April/Easter Break ❌ peak conference season and also 15 day marking deadlines (*insert institutional specificities here*) still apply even if your kids are on school holidays

End April/May ❌ exam/UG dissertation marking
June ❌ EXAM BOARDS BABY!

(Attendance mandatory, institutional specifities may apply)

July 🤷‍♀️ maybe, but don’t forget tutor hiring & electronic reading list deadlines
August 😂 hey sure you naive beautiful wildflower, but best not forget your course guides (due mid August, institutional specificities may apply), and PG dissertation marking

September - Dec ❌ back in the saddle
