What a lot of term names (or term terms?) there are! I went to a school where the terms were called Autumn, Spring and Summer (no winter, so that's all right then!). Then I went on to Cambridge University, where the terms are called Michaelmas, Lent and Easter. I believe at Oxford they're called Hilary, Lent and Trinity. Further term terms used at the schools you mention are Winter (presumably that's the second term at Harrow), Advent (obviously the first), and Christmas (must be the second, not the first, at Oundle). I have an idea that lawyers have four terms called Michaelmas, Hilary, Easter and Trinity.
