Term dates
We set term dates for community and voluntary controlled schools. Own admission schools may choose their own alternative term dates. Five training days are chosen at the discretion of individual schools every academic year. Please check your school's website as needed.
Due to the extra bank holiday (3 June 2022) falling in the summer half term holiday, summer term will now finish on Thursday 21 July 2022, a day earlier than previously planned.
Academies, free schools, voluntary-aided and foundation schools may have chosen a different date.
