UK School Holidays 2024-2025 – important to know!

The territory of the kingdom consists of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This article lists the UK school holidays for the 2024-2025 school year for each. These schedules are published on the official websites of the countries, but are not binding.

Each county, region, city or even individual school may follow its own school holiday schedule. Generally, the school calendar varies only slightly, with terms and holiday periods rarely changing by more than a week. In general, all schools follow the official UK school holiday schedule.

IMPORTANT! If you have any doubts, contact your educational institution and find out when school holidays start or end. You can also find out online. To do this, follow a few simple steps:

  1. Visit the Royal Mail website.
  2. Enter the school address.
  3. Get the zip code.
  4. Visit the UK Government website.
  5. Please enter your postal code.
  6. Follow the link you received and check out the school holiday schedule.

In addition to school holidays, children in the UK have holidays on bank holidays. They are slightly different in each country. In this publication we have provided lists of bank holidays in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland for the 2024-2025 academic year.

IMPORTANT! In Scotland, in addition to bank holidays and school holidays, there are two additional days off. These vary depending on the cluster the school belongs to. In this publication, we have provided the officially approved dates for these non-school days.
