Does Scotland have a May half term?

[Lochroy]

Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm struggling to find an exact answer online... does Scotland have a May half term break? It doesn't look like it? (I'm planning a trip in late May and looking to avoid school hols)

We just have the bank holidays off I think. I'll check or local holidays

In our area the kids are not getting one day off its either Monday the 6th or the 13th.

Yes it does, but the actual dates may depend upon the school

May day holiday: Monday 6 May 2019
In-Service day: 7 May 2019
Mid-term holiday: Friday 24 May 2019 and Monday 27 May 2019

These are ours - north Lanarkshire

Ours don't, half term here is Feb because we finish up for summer in June.

Off first Monday in May for May day.

Where are you going?

Our council has a May bank holiday weekend which has an in-service day tacked on, so Thursday 23 rd -Monday 27th inclusive.

Other councils might be different though - depends where in Scotland your going?

Each council will be different. Here it is 6 & 7 May and 20th May

We only have the 6th of May off.

Ours don’t in central Scotland

Thanks - Perth and the Highlands. Doesn't seem like anywhere has a full week off like England though.

We normally get a long weekend but it is just the Monday 27th, as we used the other holiday for Easter Monday instead this year.

No it's just odd days as we finish the school year at the end of June

Stirling, Clacks & Falkirk don't have a half term. Some schools get the first May Bank Holiday, some don't.

Aberdeen doesn't get half term.

Don't know about other areas, but Scottish holidays in general are more variable by council than England, so check their websites. Most schools finish for summer at end June.

Perth seems to just have 6th may off

Highlands also seems to be just 6th may

In my area the kids are off the 6th May. Then they are off the 26 and 27th May then break up for summer hols 28th June.

Ours is South ayrshire

Perth had Good Friday Easter Monday and the Tuesday as INSET - then they have May Day. Then straight through till summer. Dundee didn’t get Easter Monday but they get Victoria Day which is the last Monday in May

Oh and there’s a weird Thursday INSET but back to school Friday thing just before the holiday weekend just to mess with anyone who wants a wee weekend away

Edinburgh and just the 6th May for our school. I think!

Starryskies Edinburgh also has 7 May in service day and 20th May Victoria Day holiday.

I don't any state schools in Scotland take a half-term break because our Easter holidays and Summer holidays are only 9 weeks apart.

Fife is off on the 6th May and again for a long weekend at the beginning of June.

I’m in the Highlands we are off Monday 6th May then and in-service day in June but that’s it until the summer holidays. We don’t take a week or anything at that time because our summer starts much earlier.
