As has been said it pretty much is at present with a few variations within areas but not too many days apart . The bit that worries some is if schools really take on the setting of their own term dates with big changes (schools as I believe they are now able) without working with other schools and make them very different to nearby schools which could cause chaos for parents with kids in more than one school

So forgetting weekends only 6 days holiday, I always thought it was two weeks for Christmas. Most schools I know of broke up around 16th December and go back either this Thurs, Fri or next Monday.
