Christmas is fast approaching and that means another lot of school holidays are just days away.
With so much to worry about during the festive season, it can sometimes be hard to remember when the children break up from school ahead of Christmas and New Year.
Don't worry, we have you covered with all the dates when schools across Wales will break up for the Christmas holidays.
Since holiday dates vary by school, we are using guidance from the Welsh Government, but recommend checking with your local school too.
When are the 2023 Christmas School Holidays in Wales?
Children across Wales all break up on the same day in 2023, according to the Welsh Government website.
The end of the autumn term and the beginning of the Christmas school holidays in all counties across Wales is Friday, December 22, 2023.
All schools in Wales will then return on Monday, January 8, 2024, to start the spring term.
Welsh School Holidays 2024
Looking ahead to the new year, here are the dates for school holidays in 2024 (for all schools), according to the Welsh Government:
- Spring Half Term 2024: February 12 - 16
- Summer Half Term 2024: May 27 - 31
We want the school year to reflect best the needs of our pupils, staff, society and economy.
