For school holidays, every parent knows it’s important to plan plenty of activities or prepare for childcare ahead of time. With that in mind, you’ll want to know exactly what dates children will break up for the summer holidays in advance, so you can be ready when the school year comes to an end.

Edinburgh schools can operate slightly different from the majority of other council areas in Scotland, so we pulled together the exact dates of school holidays for Edinburgh children. Remember that private schools may also have slightly different holidays.

When are the school summer holidays in 2022?

When it comes to the summer holidays this year, schools will officially break up for the summer holiday on Friday July 1st. Kids will then be able to enjoy roughly a month and a half off school until the 2022/23 academic year begins in August.

The Autumn term will begin in Edinburgh on Wednesday 17 August 2022 – meaning that pupils will be off for more than seven weeks before having to return for the next school year.
