School term dates and holidays

Please see below the holiday frameworks that have been set by the Authority as guidance to Lancashire schools to cover the period of the Autumn Term 2020 to Summer Term 2024.

We strongly advise that parents/carers should check their child's individual school arrangements prior to making a commitment to a holiday or any other event as the dates set for each establishment may vary.

You can search for a school to check their individual calendars where these have been received and confirmed. Where a school calendar is not available parents/carers should contact the school or check their website.

Schools are asked to designate their five INSET days from within the number of openings provided.
