School Holiday Dates 2011/2012

Please note that this academic year has already been reduced by 1 day to 194 days in recognition of the extra one off bank holiday for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in June 2012. Schools will therefore not be scheduling an addtional closure day for this extra bank holiday as it falls within the half term break of the summer term.

 

*Monday 23rd and *Tuesday 24th July 2012 will be designated INSET days for all LEA Maintained Schools. The remaining two INSET days to be taken, will be at the discretion of each individual school. *It is intended that these INSET days will either be taken on Monday 23rd &Tuesday 24th July 2012 or at an alternative time to be decided by individual schools following appropriate consultation with staff i.e. on a weekend, during existing holidays or in the form of twilight sessions.
