What’s the Difference Between a Term, a Half Term, and a Holiday?

  • Term: A block of time when schools are open, usually split into three per year – Autumn, Spring, and Summer.
  • Half Term: A short break in the middle of each term, typically lasting one week.
  • School Holidays: The longer breaks between terms, such as Christmas, Easter, and Summer.

Each term consists of one half-term, and each term concludes with a holiday. This structure is consistent across most schools in the UK.

How Are School Term Dates Decided in Hertfordshire County Council?

School term dates in Hertfordshire County Council are set by the Hertfordshire County Council, which publishes an official calendar for community and voluntary-controlled schools.

However, not all schools follow these exact dates. Academies, free schools, and independent schools have the freedom to set their own term dates, especially when it comes to inset days (staff training days) and minor adjustments.

    Dates can vary between schools, especially for academies and free schools, so it's always best to check directly with your school for the most accurate information.

Not always. While Hertfordshire County Council sets standard term dates for most schools, academies and free schools may differ. So it's a good idea to double-check with your school to be sure.
No - inset days are teacher training days when staff are in school but pupils get the day off. While children don't attend, these days aren't officially considered part of the school holidays, and they can vary from school to school.
