[nods] It's not unusual to have a few days of classes
after exams are over, for various reasons (exam
review, summer assignments, etc.).  We actually still
had "classes" after all the A-level exams were over,
but that was really just an excuse to return our books
and go over the exams in excrutiating detail whilst
giving each other oxygen. ;)

Late July?  Hrm.  We finished at the end of June.  As
you said, depends on the school. :)  Mind if I ask
where you were at?
