School term dates and holidays by school year:
These are the recommended term dates we have set for schools in our area, although some schools and academies may choose to adopt different dates.
Regionally agreed principles for setting term dates have been set by 25 different Local Authorities in Yorkshire and the North East in order to minimise differences for those families that live, work or go to school in more than one Local Authority area.
Starting from these principles, we work with neighbouring local authorities to set dates that have the least differences, prioritising minimising differences with our immediate neighbours, North Yorkshire County Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Other Local Authorities may have other considerations and needs that are reflected in different term dates, for example a fixed Easter break.
The school year always starts on the first Monday in September and is 39 weeks long, leading to 195 school days.
School training days
Each school sets days for teaching training, or "inset days", when they're closed to pupils. Dates for training days will be provided by your child's school and may be subject to change throughout the year. Contact your child's school directly if you have any queries about training days.
Temporary school closures
For information on unplanned school closures, such as in cases of bad weather, see school closures.
