over here in the good ol' U of K, this is our current break down of your average state shcool term (colleges, unis and sixth forms vary):
start in september, first term runs until just before christmas, with a week break half way through (half term). at christmas there is a two week break.
the next term runs from january to easter, with another half term in the middle. there is a two week break for easter.
the next term runs from after easter to around may/june (students get study leave if they are taking big exams) with a half term again.
there is a six week summer holiday, and it all starts again.
this system seems to work pretty well for us, plenty of breaks to ease the mind of the student, but still a good amount of teaching time.
