Term Dates
Staffordshire term dates are set by the local authority. Five additional inset days per year are added by the Trust. These will be added to the calendar below as and when they are set. Any changes in dates are also communicated through newsletters, texts and emails.
For clarity – an INSET Day is for staff only. Children should not attend school on an INSET day.
