It's a bit of a Fife thing as well, the school holiday here always fall around easter, but rarely has easter weekend at the end of the holiday - officially, it's Spring Holiday. The only schools that got Easter Monday off were the Catholic ones, because occasionally I had it off whereas the secular schools were in. There isn't any sort of official council holiday (at least that I'm aware of) here though, it depends on individual businesses on how they go about it.
EDIT: Good Friday isn't a holiday either here unless you're at a Catholic school. Although we never got it off in secondary, there's just a mass to attend.
But then again, I could just be saying that to annoy people...
