FAQs
Are Bexley school holidays the same for every school?
Most Bexley primary schools follow the council’s set dates. However, six schools (Birkbeck, Crook Log, Danson, Dulverton, Fosters, and Longlands) take a two-week October half-term instead of the standard one-week break.
Are these dates for Bexley secondary schools?
Generally, no. These dates apply specifically to Bexley-maintained primary schools. Secondary schools and academies often set their own term dates independently.
Do bank holidays affect school term dates?
Bank holidays simply fall within the existing school holiday or term schedule; they don’t alter the term dates themselves, as schools are already closed.
What is an INSET day?
An INSET day (In-Service Education and Training) is a teacher training day. These are set by individual schools and are not included in the standard Bexley term date list, meaning your child’s first or last day of term may differ.
What is the difference between a term and a holiday?
A ‘term’ is the period when school is in session and children attend classes. A ‘holiday’ is the break period when schools are closed.
