School summer holidays 2022 Glasgow: when do kids break up for summer in Glasgow - and autumn term dates

The summer holidays are well underway and the new academic year is fast approaching.

As usual the six week summer break for children and teachers has flown in and we are over half way through the break, meaning the new academic year is just around the corner.

Knowing the key dates for the upcoming school year can be helpful for parents looking to plan in advance.

Parents will be looking forward to a long break, and some families will no doubt be looking forward to jetting off to warmer climates with the kids off school for so long.

So, when do the pupils of Glasgow go back to school after the summer holidays?

Here’s everything you need about the upcoming school breaks.

How long are pupils back at school after the half term?

Following on from schools being closed on Thursday 2 June and Friday 3 June for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, classrooms will be open again as normal from today (Monday 6 June).

However, students will only be back in the classroom for just under three weeks before school is out once again.

When do schools break up for the summer holidays?

Schools across Glasgow are expected to close on Friday 24 June at 1pm for the summer school holidays.

Teachers are expected to return to the classroom following the six week long break on Monday 15 August 2022.

When is the next bank holiday?

The next bank holiday will be on 1 August which is known as the summer bank holiday.

However, this won’t make a difference to students in Glasgow as they will already be on their summer break.

When does the next academic year start?

The academic year for 2022/2023 will kick off after the summer holidays.

Teachers will return on Monday 15 August and Tuesday 16 August for in-service days.

What are the academic dates for the rest of 2022?

After returning to the classrooms in August students will have around five weeks of teaching before the September weekend holiday.
