The school year in the United States usually consists of 180 days for K-6, starting from early fall and running through early summer. However, colleges and universities often have shorter years. Schools are closed during school holidays, vacations, breaks, or recess.
Please note that federal holidays are usually observed on different days depending on whether they fall on a Saturday or Sunday. If a holiday falls on a Saturday, it is generally celebrated on the preceding Friday. It is usually observed the following Monday if it falls on a Sunday.
There are ten annual federal holidays in the United States and an additional eleventh holiday designated by Congress for observance every four years on January 20 following a U.S. presidential election. This holiday is called Inauguration Day, and it is only observed by government employees in Washington, D.C., and the border counties of Maryland and Virginia. Inauguration Day was created to help relieve the congestion around Washington, D.C., with the events surrounding the swearing-in of the President and Vice President of the United States.
The table below lists the non-operational dates for schools in the 2024/2025 academic year. It is worth noting that schools can operate on these dates at their own discretion to suit their individual circumstances.
If the school year is disrupted by emergencies and schools are closed three or more days, dates in 2020 identified as possible make-up instructional days include: June 16-22, April 6, April 7 and January 27.
School development days occur at the beginning of Terms 1, 2 and 3 and the last 2 days of the school year. Check with your school, as schools may vary some of these dates. Parents and carers should not send their children to school on school development days.
School speed zones operate on all notified school days, including school development days.
The school calendar is developed collaboratively with SEA and the dates are agreed upon in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). The formula to schedule key dates in the CBA states that the first day of school will be the first Wednesday of September.
During the 2019 bargaining period, multiple joint workgroups between SPS and SEA were established, with one specifically organized to address inclusive considerations related to religious and cultural observations and practices. This workgroup developed supplemental materials and guidance to go along with the traditional school year calendar.
While not all religious/cultural events can be accommodated for, this guidance was created to serve as a reference for schools, families, and communities to be aware of potential schedule conflicts and excused absences and/or to make appropriate accommodations and supports for students and families on days of religious/cultural observances.
Please see below the holiday frameworks that have been set by the Authority as guidance to Lancashire schools to cover the period of the Autumn Term 2023 to Summer Term 2026.
We strongly advise that parents/carers should check their child's individual school arrangements prior to making a commitment to a holiday or any other event as the dates set for each establishment may vary.
You can search for a school to check their individual calendars where these have been received and confirmed. Where a school calendar is not available parents/carers should contact the school or check their website.
View each school's start and end times for early release days. Professional development days are listed in the instructional calendar (Espaol 中文 عربي Gagana Sāmoa Tagalog Tiếng Việt).

In primary and secondary education in the Netherlands, the dates of school holidays are staggered by region to control peaks in holiday traffic. The Government of the Netherlands fixes the dates of the main school holidays and gives advisory dates for the spring and autumn holidays. For the benefit of pupils, holidays are spread throughout the school year.
Warwickshire County Council is responsible for setting school term and holiday dates for all Warwickshire Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools. Academies, Foundation and Aided Schools are responsible for setting their own term dates and we work closely with them to align where possible.
Welsh Ministers have used the Education (Wales) Act 2014 to make legislative changes to how term dates are set in order to enable harmonisation of school term dates for all maintained schools.
These changes mean that local authorities and the governing bodies of voluntary aided and foundation schools can be directed by the Welsh Ministers on what their term dates must be if those dates are not harmonised, or if they need changing.
