A full academic year in Staffordshire includes 195 school days. The remaining days are staff training—also called inset days—when school is closed to pupils. Your child’s school sets four of these flexibly, so always check with your child’s school for exact dates.

Staffordshire School Holidays: A Detailed Breakdown

Autumn Term

The Staffordshire Autumn term usually begins in early September and runs until just before Christmas. October half term Staffordshire is always the last full week of October. Term ends on the Friday before Christmas, with school return dates landing in early January.

Spring Term

Staffordshire Spring term kicks off right after New Year. February half term Staffordshire falls in the third week of February. The Easter holidays divide the term—term starts again for the Summer term shortly after. Easter Sunday shifts each year, which is why Easter holiday dates move.

Summer Term

Staffordshire Summer term begins mid-to-late April. May half term Staffordshire is the last week of May, and May Day is a guaranteed day off. The summer holidays start in late July and stretch through August. This is the longest holiday period, perfect for family plans.
