Warwickshire parents have found out when their children will be on holiday from school for the year after next.

Warwickshire County Council (WCC) has signed off on the term dates for the 2027-28 academic year.

The approved calendar will see the school year start on Thursday 2 September 2027, following a teacher training day the day before.

The year will finish on Friday 21 July 2028.

The final day before Christmas will be Friday 17 December 2027 with youngsters returning to school on Thursday 6 January following another teacher training day.

Each school will set the dates for its remaining teacher training days.

Signed off by Cllr Wayne Briggs last week, a report on the new term dates come after an informal consultation with schools during the autumn.

Warwickshire County Council is responsible for setting the holiday dates for all community and voluntary controlled schools.

The consultation - which is not a statutory requirement - saw response from just 34 of the 303 schools contacted.

This was higher than the 23 the year before.

The proposed dates are "very similar" to those already adopted by Staffordshire, Worcestershire and Birmingham. Coventry, Gloucestershire and Solihull are "likely to have similar dates".
