Dates for the 2021/22 academic year
We will consult on the proposed term dates for 2021/22 in Term 4 of the current academic year. This will be on our consultation page.
We aim to publish the agreed term dates for 2021/22 in Term 5 this year.
How term dates are set
Many people live and work across county borders, so we work with neighbouring local authorities such as Kent, West Sussex and Brighton & Hove, to try to match dates across the region as far as possible.The total number of teaching days and holidays remain the same each year.
Term-time holidays
You should not take your child out of school for a holiday during term time. Headteachers will not authorise the absence unless it is under exceptional circumstances.
