Detailed Wrexham School Holidays Explained
Autumn Term
The autumn term marks the academic year start in Wrexham, typically beginning on September 1st. This is when primary school dates and high school dates kick off together. The term runs until just before Christmas, with a welcome break at October half term. Students enjoy a half term close in late October, returning after a week for the run-up to the term close in December.
For parents, knowing the Wrexham autumn term dates is essential for planning everything from after-school activities to early holiday bookings.
Spring Term
After the Christmas break, the spring term begins in early January. This term features the February half term, a perfect opportunity for a family getaway or simply recharging. The spring term continues until late March or early April, concluding just before the Easter holidays.
The Wrexham spring term dates are particularly important for school admission planning and transition day preparations for older students. The term open in January always feels like a fresh start, while the term close in spring signals the final push toward summer.
Summer Term
The summer term is the longest and most eventful stretch of the school year. Starting in mid-April, it includes the Early May bank holiday and a half term break in late May or early June. This term is packed with activities, including sports days and, crucially, Common Transfer Day.
This is when Year 6 pupils visit their new high schools and Year 2 pupils visit Junior schools—a significant milestone in primary to high school transition. The summer term concludes with the summer holidays, usually in late July, marking the academic year end.
Inset Days and Training Days
Wrexham inset days (also known as Wrexham teacher training days) are when schools close to students so staff can focus on professional development. These are not listed in the main term dates but are crucial for school closure dates. Typically, schools in Wrexham schedule 5 inset days per academic year.
While specific dates are set by individual schools, they often fall on the first day of term or the Monday after a half term. Always check with your child’s school to confirm their exact Wrexham school inset days, as these can vary and directly impact your holiday schedule.
