Staffordshire School Training Days (Inset Days)
All Staffordshire maintained schools have five school staff training days (often called school inset days) each year. One of these is usually fixed the day after the summer break ends. The other four are set by individual schools.
This is why you must check school term dates Staffordshire with your child’s school directly, as these Staffordshire inset days are pupil-free days.
Understanding Different School Types in Staffordshire
This is the most important thing for parents to grasp! The Staffordshire local authority term dates in this guide are for Staffordshire community schools and Staffordshire voluntary controlled schools.
However, academies term dates Staffordshire, free schools Staffordshire holidays, and voluntary aided school term dates can be different. These schools have the freedom to set their own pupil holiday dates. They often follow the local authority calendar, but not always. This is the primary cause of Staffordshire school holiday differences.
