I can't help out re: Muggle schools, but the Lexicon has calendars of 
years 1-3 at Hogwarts.  

http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/  click on "timelines"

In GF, the last day of term is December 18 and the first day back is 
January 4 (dates *pretty* certain).  JKR, by the way, is very 
consistent on this point; each year the end of term is several days 
before Christmas and the beginning of term is a few days after New 
Year's.

HTH,
Amy
