School holidays can vary slightly. It depends on the type of school. Summer holidays generally last six to eight weeks from July to September; Easter and Christmas holidays last two weeks each. Many schools still have half-term holidays (one week at the end of October, February and May respectively). Many companies are closed between Christmas and the New Year.
