Term Dates
Please note that schools have to approve holidays during term
time - these dates should not be taken for granted. The testing
times for national curriculum assessments (Key Stage One, Two and
Three) 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.
2007/08 academic year:
2007/08 Standard School Year Calendar (Agreed)
2008/09 academic year:
2008/09 Standard School Year Calendar (Agreed)
KCC has now determined the term dates for the
school year 2008/09 following consultation with schools, education
forums, trade unions, parents and governors'
representatives.
Proposed dates for 2009/10 academic
year:
2009/10 Standard School Year Calendar
Rather than wait to consult on dates for 2009/10
next Spring, KCC is consulting now on proposed dates for 2009/10.
If you have any comments on the proposed dates, please e-mail them
to Alex Duncan, Policy Officer.
Any comments should be sent before 28
September 2007.
Consultation on Term Dates The
LEA 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.
