Just as the nights are slowly drawing in, so the end of the longest holiday of the year in the school calendar is shifting into sight.
Few schools have returned yet but pupils and parents are preparing for a new academic year beginning within the next month or so – and, in many cases, looking ahead with anticipation or trepidation to the next break.
When does the new term begin, when are the next holidays to look forward to and what are the key dates to bear in mind this academic year and beyond?
Here are the dates for your diary.
When do schools go back for autumn term?
Although some pupils will consider themselves unlucky to return in mid-August, most schools are starting again at the beginning of September.
The new autumn term typically runs between Monday, September 2, 2019 and Friday, December 20, 2019.
These dates will vary between schools, so it is wise to check your school’s website to confirm.
When is autumn half term?
The summer holidays will seem a distant memory by the time of half term in mid-October.
Most schools break up again between Monday, October 21 and Friday, October 25, 2019, with term resuming from Monday, October 28, 2019.
As with all of these dates, parents are advised to check the exact periods with individual schools.
When are the school Christmas holidays 2019?
Autumn term lasts almost two months, generally finishing on Friday, December 20, 2019.
Even if parents are feeling less enthusiastic, kids have the excitement of an extended break over the festive period to look forward to.
They then tend to go back to the drawing boards (and classrooms) on Thursday, January 2, 2020.
