FAQ about school holidays
School holidays
School holidays help with family, childcare and travel planning. They are not the same as statutory public holidays.
Public holidays
Public holidays can overlap with school holidays. The calendar pages show both layers separately.
Practical planning
Do not confuse with public holidays
School holidays and school-free days are not automatically statutory days off for employees.
Plan childcare early
School holiday periods matter especially for families, schools and childcare.
Combine with public holidays
The calendar keeps school holidays and statutory holidays separate so overlaps remain clear.
