The school term and holiday dates for all community schools, including nursery schools and community special schools and voluntary controlled schools in the borough for 2010/11 are as above. It is usual practice for voluntary aided, foundation and foundation special schools, who can determine their own dates, to follow the community school pattern.
Please note that following consultations in the autumn with headteachers, representatives of Diocesan Education Organisations, Professional Associations and Trade Unions, the dates have been amended, following representations throughout London. The changes are to create a two-week holiday over Christmas and the New Year, by starting Term One on Wednesday 1 September 2010 (instead of Monday 6 September) and finishing Term Two on Friday 17 December 2010 (instead of Wednesday 22 December).
The regulations governing school term and holiday dates stipulate that schools must be open to pupils for not less than 190 school days in any school year.
