A fourteen week term with a one week half-term break spans fifteen calendar weeks and delivers 70 teaching days. Starting 7 September 2026, the half-term break falls in mid-October and the term ends in mid-December. Splitting the term at the midpoint is the usual convention, though many schools shift it to align with public holidays.
Teaching days
days = term weeks x 5
Term end

To divide the term evenly, though in practice it is usually aligned to the last week of October or February for consistency across a region.
