Our summer holiday is 7 weeks - there is no half term this week because the summer holiday starts earlier, so they just tack that week on to the summer. Then, once every 4 years for reasons I've still not understood, they add another week. Our kids are off for 8 weeks this summer. Now *that* is too long.
