It is fast approaching Christmas and no doubt some children will have already started counting down the days.

But when do schools break up for Christmas holidays this year?

The current autumn term runs from Monday, November 1 to Friday, December 17, meaning there are only seven weeks to go.

The Christmas holiday period begins on Monday, December 20 and will finish on Tuesday, January 4, 2022.

This gives children a generous 18 days off school.

Children will begin the spring term on Wednesday, January 5 and will break up for half term on Friday, February 11.

The February half term begins on Monday, February 14 and finishes Friday, February 18.

Children return for the second half of the spring term on Monday, February 21 and will break up for the Easter holidays on Friday, April 1.
