School holidays in the UK
Most schools in the UK have three terms: Autumn, Spring and Summer. The school year starts in September and ends the following July, with breaks in between each term. These breaks may vary slightly from school to school. Your local council’s website will advise you of the process for application for admissions and the schools in your local area. You can research schools you are interested in and compare using the government’s website as follows - Find and check the performance of schools and colleges in England - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). You may want to consider this when choosing where to live as being within a school’s catchment area (geographical proximity to the school) will be considered when allocating places at school. Some schools will also offer wraparound care for working parents. This will be a breakfast club and after school club but will be incur a fee.
