Reading the summer holiday dates
For the summer holidays in 2029, the tables show each council's last day of the summer term and, where available on this site, the first day of the next autumn term. These dates are based on council sources, with calculated dates labelled. Check your school's own dates before treating a term boundary as a pupil's last or first day. A note identifies any boundary date that the council lists as an INSET day. Source links and the dates they were read are listed under Sources and updates at the end of this page; missing dates are not estimated.

Questions and answers
When do schools break up for summer 2029?
Term ends on Tuesday 24 July 2029 in 9 of the 22 councils with this date available here; the table lists the council dates. Check your school's calendar for pupils' last day.
Why is an autumn start date missing?
An autumn start date may not be available on this site. "Not published by the council" means the source does not state the date; "not given consistently by the council" means the source contradicts itself. Check the council's website or your school's own calendar.
Is the last day of the summer term always a school day for pupils?
Not always. A council may identify the last day of term as an INSET day, when pupils are not in school. Where the council states this, a note explains it. Check your school's own dates too.
Can my school have different summer holiday dates?
Academies, free schools, foundation schools and voluntary aided schools can set their own term dates. Use your school's own dates if they differ from the council dates shown here.
