(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.
