With Christmas now a distant memory, many people are focused on when the next school holiday takes place. Half-term holidays are usually a week-long break for pupils, with longer breaks at the end of the full term. School dates for February half-term do vary depending on where you live in the UK and what type of school children attend. As a simple guide, most UK schools will finish classes on Friday, February 15, returning on Monday, February 25.
But to be on the safe side, check with your local council by visiting their website.
If you live in England and Wales, you can type in your postcode and find out more.

When is Easter?
If one week off school does not sound enough then do not worry as Easter is also on the horizon.
This year’s Easter holidays are later than usual but once schools are back at the end of February there will be just under two months to go.
Good Friday falls on April 19 this year, followed by Easter Sunday on April 21 and Easter Monday on April 22.
