APPROVAL OF THE SCHOOL TERMS AND HOLIDAY DATES FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2020/21. pdf icon PDF 168 KB

Minutes:

The Executive Board Member considered a report detailing proposed school term and holiday dates for the 2020/21 academic year. It was reported that Welsh Ministers had used the Education (Wales) Act 2014 to make legislative changes to how term dates were set out in order to enable harmonisation of school term dates for all maintained schools.

 

These changes meant that local authorities and the governing bodies of voluntary aided and foundation schools were required to work together to  ensure that terms dates were the same or as similar as possible. Schools could also be directed by Welsh Ministers on what their terms dates should be, if those dates were not harmonised, or required changing.

 

Having regard to the Act’s requirements, the following proposed school terms and holiday dates had been prepared in discussion and general consultation with neighbouring authorities:-

Easter Sunday – Sunday 4th April 2021; May Day – Monday 3rd May 2021.

 

The Executive Board Member noted that should the dates be approved they would remain subject to the harmonisation arrangements referred to within the report and would therefore not be finalised until receipt of confirmation from the Welsh Ministers.

 

RESOLVED that the School Term and Holiday Dates for the 2020/21 Academic Year be approved.
