Has the number of terms in a school year changed?

Question

I think it's 3 terms, and a friend thinks 5.

Answer 1

as far as i am aware, and i do teach its still 3 terms, autumn, spring and summer
there has been talk by the government to move more towards 5 terms

Answer 2

Although most local education authorities across the United Kingdom have stuck to the traditional three term year, it is decided by each local education authority as to how the school terms are spent. The Department for Education has no say. On their website, they mention a six term year however:

"It is possible that some schools will adopt a six-term year for 2004-2005. The LA is responsible for setting holiday, term dates and sessions in the case of community and voluntary-controlled schools. The term dates of foundation and voluntary-aided schools are decided by their governing bodies."

Answer 3

i work at a college 3 terms each having 12 weeks a term in them Autumn Sept-Oct Spring Jan-till easter and then Summer April - July

She probably thinks its 5 because we have half term which was last week and there is another one later in the academic year that breaks the term up

Hope this helps

Answer 4

it was proposed that the summer holiday be reduced to accomodate another half term in the school year...

I think this has been taken on in some education regions... but not all

Some only have 5 week summer holidays and some are still at the 6 week break.

So it has changed in places, but not all

Answer 6

Most people believe that once they are diagnosed with some vision problem and start wearing eye glasses or contact lenses to correct them, they will have to do so for life in order to see better. Those who want a permanent solution to improve eyesight typically resort to Lasik or other corrective eye surgeries. But you you can also improve your vision without surgery and can see perfectly well without using eyeglasses or contact lenses. You can check here to know how https://tr.im/8b6d1

Answer 7

Last time I checked it was still three. They have talked about changing it so the summer holiday isn't as long - but it's still 3.
