These term dates show the holidays recommended by the Local Authority.  Foundation and Voluntary Aided Schools are able to amend these dates to suit their local needs therefore the dates below may be altered at individual schools.

Schools may also choose to hold a teachers' in-service training day within term time (up to 5 days per year), therefore the date on which term ends, or starts, for pupils at different schools may change.

You should contact your child's school for their precise term dates.
Some schools will publish this information on their own websites
