Education Transport - School Term Dates 2021/22

As you will be aware, Norfolk County Council issues a Model Calendar for term dates, which most schools/colleges adopt as their own term dates, also selecting their staff training days from within the calendar as recommended. This Model Calendar is used to organise school transport services for pupils to attend your education establishment. This Model Calendar can be found at; Term dates and school holidays 2021-2022 - Norfolk County Council

However, we are aware that many schools/colleges are now choosing to set their own term dates and staff training days, which means that we can no longer assume that school transport needs to be provided only on the days given in the Model Calendar. It is therefore imperative that you confirm to us what your term and inset dates are, even if you currently have no transport into your establishment - as you may require this in the future, even if it just for one taxi.

To make it easier to provide us with the required information a short survey has been created for a member of your team to complete. A school specific survey will be emailed to your school on Monday 24 May 2021.

We must emphasise that failure to complete the survey may result in non-attendance of pupils to your school when other schools are closed and/or any costs of services provided when your establishment is open outside of the Norfolk Model Calendar may be charged back to you.

The deadline for completion is Thursday 24 June 2021.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
