This consultation will run from 9 March until 3 April 2020 – any responses submitted after this time will not be considered.
What are we consulting on?
Haringey Council is consulting on school term and holiday dates for the following academic years: 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24. We are asking for your views on these proposed dates which are set out in the documents below:
- Proposed School Term and Holiday Dates for 2021-22 Academic Year (PDF, 34KB)
- Proposed School Term and Holiday Dates for 2022-23 Academic Year (PDF, 34KB)
- Proposed School Term and Holiday Dates for 2023-24 Academic Year (PDF, 34KB)
- Report on Proposed School Term and Holiday Dates 2021-2024 (PDF, 38KB)
These proposed dates are for Haringey’s community and voluntary controlled (VC) schools only. The term dates for voluntary aided schools, academies, free schools and foundation schools are set by the governing bodies for those schools. However, we know that many schools that are not community schools do choose to follow Haringey’s term dates. View the list of Haringey's primary schools and secondary schools. If your school is not described as a community or voluntary controlled school, it means that the school’s governing body sets your term dates and you should refer to your school’s website for further information.
Why are we consulting?
Under section 32 of the Education Act 2002, local authorities are responsible for determining the school term and holiday dates for community and VC schools.
In proposing these dates, we liaised with neighbouring local authorities about proposals for school term dates in their areas. In doing this we seek to ensure school holidays coincide across borough boundaries to avoid the potential disruption and attendance issues that may arise for families if local schools use differing school calendars. Neighbouring boroughs such as Enfield and Barnet have indicated they will also be consulting on proposed dates set out in the documents above.
Have your say
If you have any comments on the proposed dates, please email them to: schoolconsultation@haringey.gov.uk with 'Term Dates' in the subject line of your email. All comments must be submitted by no later than Friday 3 April 2020.
What happens next?
The results of the consultation will be submitted to the Schools Employee Consultative Group (SCG) who will confirm the dates having regard to any representation made through this consultation.
We aim to publish the term dates for the academic years 2021-24 during the first half of the summer term. They will be published on our term dates page.
