(KEY DECISION)

 

REASONS FOR DECISION

 

The Education Act 2002 places a statutory obligation on the County Council to determine the number of school days that schools under its control must open.  The County Council is required to determine a pattern that ensures at least 380 sessions (190 days) during each school year.

 

A public consultation will seek feedback on three potential term date models to inform a recommended model for implementation.
