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.
