It depends on whether you are 3 term or 5 term.\nGo to your County Council Web site.

I don't think that you can "get" teachers to do anything on holidays.  I would recommend hiring a private tutor.  You should be able to find a high school or college student that would not cost a fortune.

Bank holidays just mean public holidays. They are called that because they derive historically from additional free days given to bank workers. Since banks were closed, other businesses also closed for the day. Only two of our public holidays actually contain the words "bank holiday".\n\nThe UK has eight public holidays, and some you will recognise. They are as follows.\n\nJanuary 1st - New Year's Day (1)\nvaried - Good Friday (the Friday before Easter Sunday)\nvaried - Easter Monday (the Monday after Easter Sunday)\nvaried - May Day (the first Monday in May)\nvaried - Spring Bank Holiday (the last Monday in May)\nvaried - August Bank Holiday (the last Monday in August)\nDecember 25th - Christmas Day (2)\nDecember 26th - Boxing Day (3)\n\nNow you may think that eight public holidays are too few (in comparison with the US situation), but you have to understand two things within the British context. Firstly, weekday workers do not lose any of the three days that can fall at the weekends (see notes below). Secondly our annual leave entitlement (personal vacation right) is fairly generous. The law guarantees us four weeks (i.e. 20 working days, for most office workers). However, 25 working days tends to be a standard with most good employers, and additional days are given for length of service.\n\nI hope I have made this clear.\n\nNOTES\n(1) If January 1st falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, then the following Monday is given as a public holiday in lieu.\n(2) If December 25th falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, then the following Monday is given as a public holiday in lieu.\n(3) If December 26th falls on a Saturday, then the following Monday is given as a public holiday in lieu. If it falls on a Sunday or a Monday, then the following Tuesday is given as a public holiday in lieu.

I think you will enjoy your stint in the UK. The weather is quite wet but not in a torrential way - the climate is rather soft and pleasant. You can enjoy day-trips to London, Bristol, Wales and even travel up to Scotland. There's plenty to soak up in sight-seeing and culture immersion. Happy for you!

Home education can be as expensive or inexpensive as you make it.  There are tons of free resources but tons of paid resources.  I don't know what the laws in England are.  Here are a few websites that may be helpful to you.\nhttp://www.primaryhomeeducation.co.uk/\nhttp://www.home-school.com/groups/england-uk.html\nhttp://www.hslda.org/hs/international/UnitedKingdom/default.asp\n\nhope that this is of help to you.  Find a group in your area for support and ideas.

NO!  Type in "year round schools" and you will find lots of research has been done and there is no definitive research to support either side.   It is not true that kids "forget" over the summer.  In truth, if they "forget" they didn't really know it to begin with.\n\nOne person mentioned the inner city so kids won't get in trouble, well, guess what: WE AREN'T BABYSITTERS.  Besides, trust me, kids from anywhere can get in trouble anytime of the year.\n\nThis is my second year on a modified year round.  Instead of 3 weeks off, 9 on, we are off 2 weeks in Oct., 2 in Dec. and 2 at Easter.  That gives us an extra 2 weeks in the summer. Although I like the two weeks at Christmas, which we always got, what do I do in Oct.?  My family is at work and in school.  Oh, I know, I can go to teacher training within the district or teach an intersession "summer school" like class.  It has been really hard to get a vacation in with my kids being on a different schedule than me.  In the end we are only starting about 3 weeks before the other schools around here but it is the hottest 3 weeks of the year and we don't have air conditioning. The kids (and their parents) act like it's still summer so the kids stay up late and are exhausted the next day.  They complain that they could be swimming or doing other things.  Parents keep their kids home to take them to the amusement park and to go swimming or a family reunion.  They miss more school for that. \n\nIt is harder for kids to find a job in the summer.  It is harder for teachers to get a job in the summer or to take classes.  We are required to take 20 hours of professional development a year.  The local colleges run into August so we can't take the classes there.  That means we have to take them in the evening and weekends during the school year when we are tired and our kids have extracurricular things going on that we have to try to work around.\n\nMost of you know how crazy kids get at the end of school every year.  Guess what?  When you are year round, they get crazy in Oct. Dec. and Easter!  I haven't seen any benefits yet.  I vote NO!

Hi - I'm a high school student in California.  Unfortunately, there's no real easy answer to your question - California is a big state, and there is a wide range of schedules that are used throughout it.  Your best bet is probably to find the website of the specific school district that you're interested in, and go from there.\n\nPersonally, I am in the Los Angeles Unified School District, which employs two calendars.  On the traditional schedule, students have a summer break from June to September, a two-week winter break in December-January, and a one-week spring break.  However, we also have a track system, in which two-thirds of the school is in attendance at any point during the year.  On this schedule, Track A has two-month breaks in the summer and winter, Track C in the spring and fall, and Track B goes on and off for two-month periods throughout the year.\n\nI know this doesn't entirely answer your question, but I hope I was at least able to provide you with some sort of insight into what you were wondering.

Depends on how often you are planning on being back in the UK. You are allowed so many days a year. See the Inland Revenue website for details.
