Choosing your council
Use the alphabetical list on Termbook to find a council and open its term dates, based on the council's published information. Councils set term dates for community schools and voluntary controlled schools; other types of school set their own dates, so check your school's calendar too. Source links and the dates they were read are listed under Sources and updates at the end of each page. The list covers councils in England; school term dates for the rest of the UK are not covered yet.
Questions and answers
How do I find term dates for my area?
Choose your council from the alphabetical list to open its term dates. You can also start typing your council's name in the finder on the home page, then choose it from the results.
Will the council's dates apply to my school?
The council sets dates for community schools and voluntary controlled schools. Academies, free schools, foundation schools and voluntary aided schools can set their own dates, so check with your school.
Can I check the original source?
Open Sources and updates to find the council's original page or document and when it was read. If the dates here differ from the council's or school's own dates, use the official dates and report the error.
