School Term and Holiday Dates 2007/08

The school term and holiday dates for the 2007/08 school year are now published and can be accessed here.

The dates have been set following discussions with other eastern region LAs, the JCC Teachers' Panel, the Service Improvement Group and the Diocesan Boards of Education.

The dates are very similar to those adopted by most of the other eastern region LAs. For example, the dates of the Christmas, Easter and the half-term holiday periods are the same as those adopted by Cambridgeshire and Suffolk.

The first day of the Autumn, and Summer terms are identified as set training days. The remaining three training days are to be set locally by clusters of schools or in localities. Consideration must be given to the implications for school transport arrangements when setting these three training days.
