School term, holiday and other closure dates
On this page...
Listed below are the term dates that we've agreed on for community schools ONLY. These schools will all have scheduled training days in addition to those identified on the calendar, so we'd always recommend checking the dates with your child’s school.
Telephone numbers and websites for schools can be found on the Luton Directory.
The governing bodies of voluntary aided schools, foundation schools, free schools and academies are responsible for setting their term dates. Therefore, you should check the dates with your child’s school.
Teacher training days
We don’t usually list training days here, or in the downloads available at the bottom of the page, as they vary between schools. You’ll be notified by the school of upcoming training days, or you can check the dates with your child’s school.
Temporary school closures
Find out if your school has been temporarily closed when:
- it's snowing
- there's a national pandemic
- the school is experiencing an emergency situation such as heating system failure
