The above term dates apply to all Community, Voluntary Controlled, Community Special Schools and Maintained Nursery Schools in Barnet.
Schools must open for 195 days each year. They are open to pupils for 190 days and provide training to staff on the other 5 days. The staff training dates are different for each school.
Voluntary Aided schools and Foundation schools are able to choose their own dates but many follow the same dates. Although these schools can set their own term dates, they are still required to open for 195 days a year.
This does not apply to Academies and Free schools, who are free to set their own term dates.
