Public Consultation on School Terms

Consultation on proposed term dates for 2019/20
 
Term dates for community and voluntary controlled schools are set by West Berkshire Council following a consultation process.   West Berkshire will ‘propose’ term dates and would recommend that schools consider aligning term dates with other schools in the area, for example, secondary schools with primary schools, in recognition of families with children at different schools.
 
In West Berkshire, the set dates traditionally include a common INSET at the start of the Autumn Term.  Therefore, 191 days are set with recommendations for the remaining 4 INSET days.
 
The 2019/20 proposal for West Berkshire sets a common INSET day on Tuesday 3rd September 2019 with four further training days to be selected from outside specified pupil’s days.
  
The proposed dates for 2019/20 have been through our internal consultation process and are now available for public consultation.  The consultation runs from 8 January until 16 February 2018.  The deadline for feedback and comments is 16 February 2018.
 
There are 2 options proposed with the difference being a later holiday in October.
 
Option 1:

Option 2:
