School term dates

School term dates and holidays

Term dates for Coventry's schools are set up to three years in advance.

Who decides term dates?

School terms and holiday dates are set by the local authority (LA) each year in consultation with parents, headteachers, governing bodies, professional associations, Diocesan Boards of Education, FE Colleges and Trades Unions.

What about 'teacher training' days?

Each individual school is able to allocate a small number of days which are reserved for the professional training of school staff and are set at each school's discretion. Contact your school directly to find out when these will be.
