Your bank holiday entitlement is pro rata of a five day attendance so you are entitled to 60% of the 8 bank holidays in England, Wales and Scotland, 10 in NI.

Works out at 4.8 days.
Doesn't matter which days of the week you work you're still entitled to them.

Annual Holiday Policy- Bank and public holidays Guide for employees

Bank and public holiday entitlements for part-time employees Royal Mail Group (except HR Services) Part-time employees who work at least four days a week
 Are entitled to the same time off as full-time employees
 If their work pattern means that they miss a bank or public holiday the time off should be given as close to the particular holiday as possible
If an employee works three or fewer days a week:
 The total bank holiday entitlement should be reduced pro-rata to a five day week (rounded to the nearest half day

Calculating bank holiday entitlements This table shows how to calculate an employee’s bank holiday entitlement. It is based on a year when there are eight bank holidays.

Number of days worked per week. / Number of Bank Holiday Entitlement days due
1 = 1.5
2 = 3
3 = 5
4 = 8
5 = 8
