School term dates change from year to year and differ from school to school. There are sometimes differences between term dates for local authority-run schools and independent schools.

Traditionally, there are three school terms, with short mid-term (half-term) breaks and a longer break over the summer:

• Summer holiday: late July to early September
• Autumn half-term: final week of October
• Christmas holidays: late December to early January
• Spring half-term: one week in mid-February
• Easter holidays: two weeks either side of Easter Sunday
• Summer half-term: one week at end of May/early June

There are further differences with many local authorities now adopting a standard school year. This is made up of six terms, each of a similar length. Find out more about school holidays and half term in London.
