London school holidays: list of 2022/2023 term dates and breaks - including October half term and Christmas

It’s the start of a new academic year in London as primary and secondary school students dust off their school uniforms and backpacks for the 2022 to 2023 school year.

A number of London boroughs have already provided guidance to schools across their respective areas as to when it feels term times should start, including half term breaks for the upcoming autumn, winter and summer terms.

The school year starts in September and is usually organised into 3 terms with a 1 week holiday halfway through the term.

Pupils will spend 190 days (38 weeks) in school each year with an extra five days reserved for training teachers and support staff. Every school sets its own training dates and will tell parents if the school is closed to pupils.

Individual schools set their own school days and term dates, but the dates provided act as a guide as to when a number of London boroughs believe schools should set their term times.

What are the term dates for the 2022/2023 school year?

Schools in a number of London boroughs are encouraged to use the same dates but don’t have to, so information on school term dates specific to a school can be found on their corresponding websites.

You can find your particular school by using the GOV.UK website’s search function.
