Detailed Newport School Holidays Explained
Let’s break down what each term typically involves for Newport pupil holidays.
- Autumn Term: This is the longest stretch, starting in early September. It includes an October half term break and finishes before Christmas. It’s the core first half of the school year.
- Spring Term: Term starts in early January after the New Year. It includes a February half term and ends around Easter, marking a fresh start after the winter.
- Summer Term: Beginning after the Easter break, this term includes the May half term and culminates in the long summer holiday in late July. It’s when you’ll find most school closure days for Newport school breaks.
Newport School Training Days (Inset Days)
These are crucial for planning! Newport teacher training inset days are professional development days for staff, and pupils do not attend. While the Newport City Council sets the term framework, individual schools schedule their own school training days.
You must contact your school directly for their specific inset days calendar, as these can affect your Newport school holiday schedule.
