Renfrewshire School holidays are always fun, even if they’re just for a day. They give you time to catch up on the latest movies, try out the hottest gaming titles and see friends from other schools.
However, none of these holiday events will be viable without planning. Also, no planning would work if you don’t know when you’ll be having holidays.
If you’re schooling or enrolling a kid in a Renfrewshire school and you’re curious about when you’ll be having school holidays, you’re at the right place.
This post will outline all the Renfrewshire school holidays that the council has announced yet and when they’re taking place.
Renfrewshire Council School Holidays 2024/25
For every academic session, the Renfrewshire council publishes a schedule including all school holidays in the county. All schools in Renfrewshire adhere to it and take the holidays as required.
If you want to know when you’ll be having holidays and breaks, you can use the Renfrewshire council website or this website.
Here is a list of all Renfrewshire school holidays from the council’s website, along with their dates and the purpose.
Renfrewshire September Weekend (Local Holidays)
The September weekend is usually one of the first holidays of the term after resumption on a regular academic session.
The September weekend marks the middle of the autumn academic session, and it involves taking a Friday and a Monday off from schooling activities.
Councils set the September weekend dates for schools in their vicinity, and for Hampshire, it’s on Friday, September 27th, 2024, and Monday, September 30th, 2024.
Renfrewshire October Break (Mid Term Break)
The October break marks the end of the academic session in October. It’s a weeklong holiday that commences from Friday, October 11th, to Friday, October 18th, 2024.
It’s one of the lengthier holidays for Scottish students outside those set aside to celebrate a religious event like Christmas or Easter.
Renfrewshire Christmas/New Year Holiday
The Christmas and New Year’s Holidays start towards the end of the calendar year before Christmas and end after New Year.
This holiday lasts for two weeks, making it one of the lengthiest holidays for the session.
Schools across Renfrewshire will close by 2:30 pm on Monday, December 23rd, 2024, to commence the holidays. The schools will resume on Monday, January 6th, 2025.
Renfrewshire February break (Spring Midterm Holiday)
After the Christmas and New Year’s Holidays, Renfrewshire schools won’t have another break until Friday 14th Fеbruary 2025 to Tuеsday 18th Fеbruary 2025.
Of course, this isn’t Valentine’s break, it is to mark the middle of the Spring term, and like other midterm breaks, it lasts for two days.
Schools won’t open on Friday 14th, Fеbruary 2025 to Tuеsday 18th, Fеbruary 2025, to mark the middle of the Spring term.
Renfrewshire Easter/Spring Break
The lengthiest break for the 2024/25 session is a joint one; for the Spring Break and to commemorate Easter.
This break lasts for almost three weeks, starting with a 2:30 pm closure on Monday 7th, April 2025. It continues until Monday, April 21st, 2025, when all schools reopen and resume academic activities.
This holiday is the best opportunity for vacations, picnics, visitations, and similar activities that you’ve always wanted to do.
Renfrewshire Summer Break
On Friday, June 27th, 2025, all schools in Renfrewshire will close by 1 pm for the summer break.
The council hasn’t decided on the resumption date after this break, and the best bet is waiting for an official confirmation.
