Hogwarts is in Scotland. Term finishes in June although this varies 
regionally. In Central Region schools return 2nd last week in August, 
but as Hogwarts is Wizarding school they can set their term start 
times when they like.  OWLS in 4th year are equivalent to the old O 
Grades (now standard Grades) whereas NEWTS are sat later than 5th 
year when I sat MY highers although these days you can now do a 2 
year higher which would take you to 6th year. Remember in the British 
school system you leave in 6th year not 7th. Perhaps NEWTS are like 
the old Certificate of Sixth Year Studies. Who knows. Only one thing 
for certain regular school or Wizarding school I'd still have no 
chance of passing Arithmancy even at OWL level!!!!!! (Would probably 
do okay at History of Magic though.
