School Terms
The school's year is divided into three terms, Michaelmas (early September to mid December), Lent (early January to the Easter holiday) and Summer (the Easter holiday to mid July). In the middle of each term there is a half-term holiday, usually a week long. For boarders, there are also other home weekends.
The academic year begins with the Michaelmas term and ends with the Summer term, so starts at the end of the summer holiday.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or terms:
“We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends. We have learned from problems resolved and tasks achieved but also from mistakes confronted and illusions unmasked. . . . Some of what we have learned is trivial: some has changed our lives forever.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“Theology—An effort to explain the unknowable by putting it into terms of the not worth knowing.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
