APPROVAL OF THE SCHOOL TERMS AND HOLIDAY DATES FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2018/19 pdf icon PDF 168 KB

Minutes:

The Executive Board Member considered a report detailing proposed school term and holiday dates for the 2018/19 academic year. It was reported that under the Education (Wales) Act 2014 local authorities and the governing bodies of voluntary aided and foundation schools had to liaise with each other to ensure term dates were the same or, as similar as possible, with the caveat that Welsh Ministers could direct the term dates if they could not be 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:-
