In Derbyshire, the holidays will be going ahead as normal this year. Some areas (such as South Yorkshire) have chosen to only have a five week summer holiday this academic year, but Derbyshire is not one of them. Instead, they will use the extra week to turn the first half term of the academic year into a two week break.
