Guidance Notes
1. The School Calendar for students is 189 days. However, when Liberation Day bank holiday falls on a weekday (ie Monday - Friday), students will attend for 188 days.
2. In addition, staff attend 5 inset days per calendar year. Two of these will be at the beginning of the new school year in September, one each at the beginning of the spring and summer term and one additional day which is set by schools. Therefore staff work 194 days except when Liberation Day bank holiday fall on a weekday when they will work 193 days.
