You'll get the bank holidays that fallen within your contract period. If there are none due you won't get any, if working for a full year then you get a full years worth.

But of course thats if you work 5 days a week - it will pro rata if you work less.

I posted a similar query re calculation of p.t leave. Go to https://www.gov.uk/calculate-your-holiday-entitlement

Holidays
All workers have the right to a minimum amount of annual holiday. From 1 April 2009 the statutory minimum entitlement is 5.6 weeks holiday a year, based on your normal working week. For example, if you work:

20 hours a week, your statutory holiday entitlement is 5.6 20-hour weeks
three days each week, you have the right to 16.8 days' holiday - that's 5.6 weeks of three days each
Many employers give more than the statutory minimum amount of holiday. Under the regulations part-timers should be treated no less favourably. This normally means that a part time worker will get a pro rata proportion of what the full-time workers get. Your employer can't round down the number of days given, because this would be unfavourable treatment, but fractions of a day might be given as hours.

Paid holidays under the Working Time Regulations legislation

Bank and Public holidays can be included in these 28 days; at the moment there is no statutory right to take bank holidays off. Therefore if you take a day off as paid leave on a bank holiday it may count as one of your annual leave days under WTD legislation – depending on what your employment contract says. (For more information on Bank Holidays see below).
Your employer may give you more leave than 28 days as part of your contract.

Bank Holidays
Part-time employees should receive a pro-rata’d allowance of paid bank holidays to ensure they are dealt with fairly – even if they do not normally work on the days the bank holidays fall.
The statutory holiday entitlement of 28 days MAY include bank holidays.
