Decision to approve 2025/26 Term Dates and 2026 Year 6 Transition Date for Community, Voluntary Controlled and Community Special Schools

 

 

On 11 December 2018 Kirklees Cabinet approved that Kirklees will follow the (LGA) Guiding Principles used by the Yorkshire and North East Regions for setting term dates for community, voluntary controlled and community special schools to try to achieve a coordinated approach with neighbouring local authorities and that approval for setting term dates each academic will be delegated to the Service Director, Learning and Early Support following engagement with the Education and Learning Partnership Board.

 

Setting Year 6 transition dates is not an LA statutory duty and schools of all types are not bound by these dates, however, it has previously been reported that the majority of schools welcome support with co-ordination of this.  It was confirmed that setting Year 6 transition dates would sit alongside setting term dates.

 

To be published by 30 April 2024 to take effect from 1 September 2025.
