A few general guidelines

The council, along with neighbouring authorities, has set out the following principles for school term dates:

• all terms start on a Monday (or Tuesday after a Bank Holiday)
• October half term is generally the last full week in October
• a break covering Christmas and New Year
• February half term will always 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
