School Term Dates 2027-2032.

24/03/2026 - Leicestershire School Term Dates Autumn 2027 to Summer 2032.

That the proposed term date models for Leicestershire for the academic years 2027/28 to 2031/32, in particular Option 2, be reconsidered and presented to the Cabinet on 28 April, prior to a consultation exercise being undertaken.

 

(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.
