Staff Training Days (INSET Days)
Staff training days—often called in-service days or teacher training days—are set by individual schools, not the council. That means one school’s school closure dates might differ from another’s.
Most schools take five INSET days per year. Some sprinkle them across the autumn term, spring term, and summer term; others bundle them at the start of the year. If you want to avoid an unexpected day off with nowhere to go, check your child’s school website directly.
