  • Wednesday 1st September 2010 has been designated as the usual INSET / preparation day at the beginning of the school year leaving four further INSET days to be allocated.
  • Some schools may wish to take two weeks holiday at the Summer Half Term, extending the Summer term by one week i.e. closing on Wednesday 27 July 2011.
  • It is hoped that Aided and Foundation Schools will follow a broadly similar pattern.

Please always check with the school for the latest position.
