The school year consists of 190 'pupil' days. In addition to these days, teaching staff must also be available for work on five extra days (or the equivalent of 30 hours) during the year. These days/hours are used for staff development.
Term dates for Community and Voluntary Controlled schools are set by the Local Authority in consultation with neighbouring Authorities and groups representing school staff.
In Foundation, Voluntary Aided and residential Special schools it is the governing body that decides the beginning and the end of school terms and holidays.
Schools in the Mere and Tisbury area may choose between Wiltshire and Dorset dates.
For a summary of school term dates for Wiltshire’s Community and Voluntary Controlled schools for the academic years 2011/12 and 2012/13 please see School Term Date Calendar.
