Request

Please could you provide the school term dates set by your authority between the academic years 2006/07 and 2021/22? If possible, please could you:

(1) supply these dates in .csv or .xlsx (Excel) format;

(2) include the dates for each of the six half terms for each academic year;

(3) for each half term, list the 'Open' date as the first day that local authority schools were open and the 'Close' date as the last day that local authority schools were open;

(4) state that a school was 'Open' even if it is expected that all schools used that date as in INSET (in-service training) day;

(5) ignore the early May bank holidays, Easter weekend (if not in holiday time), royal events, and any other nation-wide public holidays.

If your authority has undergone boundary changes in this period, please indicate this in your response but still provide dates for the previous authority.

Response

Please see the attached, in the format that this information is held in, from the 2013-14 academic year to 2021/22. Details of school term dates prior to this are no longer held.

The attached includes half term dates, the open / closed date for each half term, inset days (schools are at liberty to set their own inset dates and therefore the later term dates reflect this). Bank holidays are included on the attached, but are easily identifiable.

The council has not undergone any boundary changes during the period in question.
