UK School Term Dates
In the UK, the academic year for schools is typically divided into three terms: autumn, spring, and summer. Each term lasts around 12 to 14 weeks, with a half-term break in the middle, usually lasting one week. The school year usually begins in early September and ends in late July. Between terms, there are longer holiday breaks: around two weeks at Christmas, two weeks at Easter, and six weeks for the summer holiday. While the structure is generally consistent across the UK, exact dates may vary slightly depending on local councils or specific schools.
