most of the answers have assumed you're talking about school holidays ... that is, approximately 6 weeks in the summer (usually from late July to early September) ... plus two weeks at Christmas, two weeks at Easter and one week at each of the three half terms

if you're talking about workers holidays, then most of us get between 4 and 6 weeks annual leave which, usually, we can take any time we like depending on agreement from the employer

8 weeks in northern ireland.

It changes from where your from.

Like people from Northern Ireland said, they get up to 8 weeks.

I'm from England and we get 6 weeks.

Private schools get longer, as they work (if its a boarding school) on weekends.

For Winter in England, we got 2 weeks.
