Holidays are days off work or school. Workers holidays in the UK are divided into Statutory (or Bank) holidays and floating holidays. The Bank holidays are a mix of Christian religious festivals (Christmas, Easter, Whitsuntide) and other special days like New Years Day, May Day and the August Bank Holiday. There are 8 Bank Holidays in total. Most people also expect about 4 weeks "floating" holidays which they can take, by arrangement with their employers, at a time of their own choosing. This would be called furlough or vacation in the US. Schoolchildren get approx two weeks at Christmas, two weeks at Easter and six weeks in the Summer. They also get any Bank Holidays outside of these and a few days at each half-term three times a year.
