Please note that academy, voluntary aided and foundation schools may have slightly different dates, and INSET days vary by school.

Schools have also said dates may vary if coronavirus rates impact attendances or staffing numbers, with the possibility of hybrid or remote learning as we reported exclusively this week at the Priory and HBS.

It is important to remember that academy, voluntary aided and foundation schools may have different school term and holiday dates.

At the same time, schools may have different staff training (INSET) days – so you should check with your school when these days will take place during term time.
