I am wondering if all the schools in the UK have the same length of school holidays?

My school currently has around 190 School Days per year. I know all schools don't have the exact same holidays but do they all get the same amount of time off? A few years ago the holidays varied a lot between schools and different parts of the country. But now they are supposed to be the same. But they're not.

Is there a website where I can compare the school holidays of every school in the UK or at least in my local area?
 
This isn't the right place to ask but here in Aberdeenshire, Scotland we get 6 weeks off summer holidays and many holidays in between. We get about 139 school days per year I think. You can probably look this up somewhere else. It depends on how good your school is in terms of grades ( or finance ) private schools are much different too.
 


I assumed this was the right place to post this, hence the category "Work and Education". If this isn't the right place to post an Education question like this, where is? Anyway, only 139 school days per year, wow you're lucky! Most schools in the UK have to do 190. Is your school a private one? How many hours are the kids in school (eg 8:50 to 3:10)?
