Term and holiday dates
We set the school term and holiday dates for all Derby community schools. Academies, foundation and voluntary-aided schools can have different dates.
Teaching dates usually total 195 days each year. Schools decide when to take their five in service training days (inset days). Schools will inform parents about inset dates for their school. Please check with the school your child goes to about information for inset days.
