The English school year generally runs from early September to mid July of the following year. Most schools operate a three-term school year, each term divided in half Autumn term runs from early September to mid December (half term falls in late October). Spring Term runs from early January to Easter (half term falls in mid February). Summer Term runs from Easter to mid July (half term falls in late May or early June). The Christmas holidays separate the autumn and spring terms, and the Easter holidays separate the spring and summer terms. Each holiday lasts about two weeks. The summer holiday begins in late July, and is usually about six weeks long. The local education authority〔(List of English school holidays )〕 sets the holiday dates for all schools under its control. Academies set their own dates, but often match the dates of other local schools. There may be days when individual schools are closed due to teacher training, bad weather, or other unplanned events. Parents are advised to contact the school directly with regards to closure, but general information can be found on local radio websites and often the local education authority website. == English Independent Schools == Independent schools (also known as "public schools" (age about 13+) and "private schools" or "preparatory schools" (under 13) in the UK) generally operate an academic year ((Independent academic year )) similar to the above, but often have shorter terms and longer holidays. Some international schools operate a different system using semesters rather than terms. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「English school holidays」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
