London Borough of Hounslow Term and Holiday Dates 2027 - 2030

The decision seeks approval of the proposed school term and holiday dates for maintained community and voluntary controlled schools within the London Borough of Hounslow for the 2027-2030 academic year.

The Local Authority has a statutory duty to set term and holiday dates for all maintained schools in its area. The proposed calendar has been developed following consideration of:

  • Statutory requirements for the length of the school year
  • Alignment with neighbouring local authorities to support families, staff and cross-borough services
  • Feedback from schools, professional associations and other stakeholders
  • The need to provide clarity and advance notice to schools, staff, pupils and parents/carers
  • Approval of the recommended dates will enable schools to plan their staffing, curriculum delivery, attendance monitoring, and operational arrangements in a timely and coordinated manner.
