2011/12 Term Dates - update

The Government has recently announced that changes will be made in 2012 to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. This will involve moving the late May Bank Holiday to Monday, 4 June and adding an extra Bank holiday on Tuesday, 5 June.

Kent County Council and all other local authorities are therefore going to need to consult on changes to the school term dates for 2011/12  shortly, which is likely to mean proposals to shift the school holiday back from the week beginning 28 May 2012 to the following week - week beginning 4 June 2012.

Consultation will take place as soon as the DCSF confirms that it has undertaken consultations with the Exam Boards on rescheduling exam dates and that a decision has been made to make Regulations to allow the length of the school year to be reduced by one day for pupils to accommodate the additional Bank Holiday.

A revised 2011/12 calendar will be published on this page as soon as consultation on the changes commences.
