In my experience in the Isle of Man, school summer hols were 7 weeks
from end of the 3rd week of July to the end of the 1st week of
September. But this was later than many places in the UK, because it
deliberately covered Manx Grand Prix Week (1st Week of September)
when several schools which were inside of the race course couldn't be
reached. Some Scottish schools "break up" in June and "go back" in
August.
