Bristol school holidays: full list of term dates and breaks, including October half term and Christmas

It can be hard to keep track of all the term dates throughout the year, and we can easily lose track of dates.

When it comes to school holidays a lot of parents find that preparation is key, and like to get some things organised in advanced to avoid the dreaded ‘I’m bored’ when the inevitable rainy comes.

As the summer holidays are well and truly underway, parents will be looking to the new academic year and hoping to get a head start on booking a family trip or sorting out childcare.

Some parents will also be looking forward to booking a holiday during the school break now that travel has become more accessible following the reduction in Covid-19 restrictions.
