Term Dates
Please note that schools need to
approve holidays during term time - approval of such requests
should not be taken for granted. The testing times for national
curriculum assessments (Key Stage one and two) and GCSE/A-Levels
and mock examinations also need to be taken into account - pupils
should not be absent during these tests. Dates for these are not
usually fixed more than one year ahead.
Please download the academic calendar
for the current school year:
Kent County Council has now determined
the term dates for the school years 2009/10, 2010/11, 2011/12
following consultation with schools, education forums, trade
unions, parents and governors' representatives.
The LA sets the term dates for all
community, community special and voluntary controlled schools.
Governing bodies of foundation and voluntary aided schools are
responsible for setting their own term dates. However, we hope all
schools will continue to work within this common
calendar.
Staff
Training Days
Please note: schools determine the
days when they are closed for staff training days. Parents/carers
are therefore advised to confirm the actual term dates with
school(s).
