About Half Term Planner

Half Term Planner is a free, independent site that makes UK school holiday dates quick to find, compare and add to your calendar. It covers 207 councils across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Where the dates come from

Term dates come from the Housemait UK school term dates dataset, licensed under CC BY 4.0. Housemait compiles it from each council's published calendar. We work out holiday periods from the term dates and link every council page back to the council's official page. More about our sources and method.

Council dates apply to community and voluntary-controlled schools. Academies, free schools and faith schools may differ, so always check with your school before booking.

How the site is funded

The site is free. It is paid for by clearly labelled affiliate links and, in future, adverts. See our affiliate disclosure.
