Cornwall Council is responsible for setting the term dates for
all community, voluntary-controlled and maintained nursery
schools in its area. Foundation, trust,
voluntary-aided, free schools and academies have the freedom to set
their own term dates - please contact the individual school to find
out their term dates.

Term dates for 2014-15 for community and voluntary-controlled
schools
To be confirmed.
The proposed 2014-15 term dates have been out for consultation
with schools and interested parties and are now awaiting Member
approval. It is hoped that the finalised dates will be
available here by mid May 2013. Please bear in mind that
these dates will be for community and
voluntary-controlled schools only. All other types of school
(e.g. academies, trust schools and voluntary-aided schools) will be
able to set their own dates, although it is hoped that there will
continue to be consistency across Cornwall. If you would like
to find out what status each of the schools are, see the School Contact
Details page.
If you have any queries or would like to request to be notified
when the 2014/15 community and voluntary-controlled school dates
are available, please email schoolorganisation@cornwall.gov.uk.
About term dates
Term dates for Local Authority maintained schools must be set
with regard to the appropriate regulations which require schools to
have at least 380 half-day sessions (190 days) in each school
year. This is consistent with the 195 days a year required by
a teacher's Statutory Conditions of Service – the additional five
days are for in-service training (INSET).
Cornwall Council consults schools and other relevant parties
each time it sets term dates for community and voluntary-controlled
schools. The dates proposed are based on those recommended by
the Cornwall Education Unions and those suggested by Plymouth City
Council and Devon County Council.
