2027-2028 Academic Year (Provisional)

While the Aberdeen City Council typically finalises dates closer to the time, we can project the Aberdeen school holidays for 2027-2028 based on established patterns. Always verify these with the official local authority school calendar before finalising plans.

These dates provide a fantastic framework for your future Aberdeen school year planner. The key term breaks like the Aberdeen October holiday and Aberdeen spring break are expected to follow a similar two-week pattern.

Aberdeen School Holidays: A Detailed Breakdown

Understanding the structure makes school term schedule planning simpler. The Aberdeen academic year is split into four terms, separated by holidays. Key periods include the Aberdeen September holiday (a long weekend), the two-week Aberdeen October holiday, the Aberdeen Christmas holidays, a February mid-term break, the Spring holiday, and the long summer break.

Each term includes essential teacher training days, officially called in-service days. These are pupil holidays where staff undergo training, so it’s crucial to account for them in your childcare plans.

Aberdeen School In-Service Days (Teacher Training Days)

Aberdeen in-service days are fixed days within the school term schedule where pupils do not attend, but staff are in for training. They are critical for school dates for parents to note. For the 2025-26 year, they fall on 18 Aug, 14 Nov, 10 & 11 Feb, and 5 May. Marking these in your family calendar prevents last-minute surprises and is a key part of savvy school holiday planning.

Aberdeen Public Holidays During Term Time

Public holidays Aberdeen schools observe can affect the term time schedule. The main ones are the May Day holiday (usually the first Monday in May) and the September holiday (third Monday in September). These are already factored into the school session dates tables above. Always double-check the Aberdeen City Council school dates for any unique local variations.
