The 2027 academic year for primary schools in Helsingborg runs from January 11 to June 10 for the spring term, with the autumn term beginning on August 18. Students have several breaks, including a five-day sportlov (winter sports break) in week 8 and a four-day påsklov (Easter break) in week 12. The autumn break, höstlov, takes place during week 44 and lasts for five days. The jullov (Christmas break) is the longest holiday, spanning 19 calendar days from December 22 until January 9, 2028.
In addition to these scheduled holidays, each school adds four staff training days per academic year when students are off. Please keep in mind that independent schools may follow different schedules than the municipal schools. These dates are based on the official school calendar provided by the municipality, but you should always verify specific dates and local variations for your child's school via the online portal or by contacting the school directly.
About Helsingborg
Helsingborg sits at the narrowest point of the Öresund strait, and the ferry to Helsingør in Denmark takes about twenty minutes. The medieval tower Kärnan rises over the centre, and Sofiero palace and its gardens are just north of town. The city lists term dates and breaks for all its municipal schools on one shared page.
How we collect and check the dates
Where do the dates come from?
All dates come from each municipality's own page about school term dates for compulsory school. We do not copy other sites' lists or reuse earlier years. Below the table there is a link to the source, so you can see where the date is written.
How are the dates checked?
When a break is added, the line of text on the municipality's page that the date is based on is saved. A date is only published if that line appears word for word on the municipality's page, under the right term and year. If the municipality only gives a week number, such as week 44, we convert it to Monday–Friday of that week. If there is no separate Christmas break listed, it is worked out from the last day of the autumn term and the first day of the spring term. Such dates are marked as calculated.
How often is the page updated?
An automatic check goes through the municipalities' pages every ten days and looks for breaks that are still missing. Breaks that are already over are not looked for. Dates already on the page are not overwritten automatically. If a municipality changes a break afterwards, we correct it by hand.
When do municipalities publish new term dates?
Most municipalities decide their term dates one to two years ahead, often in spring. So the next school year may be missing for a while for some municipalities. If no date is shown for a break, the municipality has not published it yet, or we have not been able to confirm it.
Why do municipalities have different breaks?
Each municipality decides its own breaks. The sports break is spread between week 7 and week 10 depending on where in Sweden you live, partly so the ski resorts are not full the same week. The autumn break is almost always week 44, and the Easter break is around Easter or the week after.
How many school days are in a school year?
According to the Swedish School Ordinance, the school year has at least 178 school days and 12 days off. It starts in August and ends in June. Days off that are not part of the main breaks are often single days, for example around Ascension Day.
Do the dates apply to independent schools and upper secondary?
The dates apply to the municipality's compulsory schools. Independent schools set their own term dates and may have other breaks. Upper secondary schools often follow the same breaks, but not always. Study days, when pupils are off but teachers work, are set by each school and are not listed here.
