The information in this prospectus relates to the school year 2023 / 24 , and although correct at the time of publication , there may be changes before or during the school year or in any subsequent years .
Training days
The above schedule sets out 198 days in total , providing a framework for schools from which five days should be selected as training days for teachers , set by headteachers in consultation with their staff .
Occasional days
The schedule also allows for the 3 occasional day holidays for pupils and staff to be set in consultation with each school ’ s governing body . In considering the dates of these 3 days , governing bodies should take account of the need to observe religious festivals other than Christmas and Easter . These should also be taken from within the 198 days specified in the schedule . Should the occasional days not be required for religious festivals it is recommended that they be used at the end of the Summer Term 2024 .
Please note that the total number of working days for teachers is 195 and for pupils is 190 .
