School Holidays 2025-2026
School terms and holiday dates are shown here for the school year beginning in September 2025. These dates apply to all community nursery, primary, secondary and special schools. In 2025/26 pupils should attend for 190 days (or 380 half sessions). Schools which close for local elections are required to extend the summer term or coincide it with an ‘inset’ day. Academies, free and voluntary aided schools have similar dates, but it is recommended that you check with individual schools. The following dates are to include five INSET days.
