A few general guidelines
The council, along with neighbouring authorities, has set out the following principles for school term dates:
-
- October half term is generally the last full week in October
- a break covering Christmas and New Year
- February half term will generally be the third full week in February
- Easter break is renamed the Spring Break and will always be the first two full weeks in April
- Easter will always be observed via the Bank Holidays for Good Friday and Easter Monday
- Whitsun half term break will be one week
- where a school is open for a part-week this will be for a minimum of three days to encourage attendance
- the five INSET days are to be designated by the individual School Governing Body, but there will be no more than two days in any one term set consecutively
