City of Bristol

Who these dates actually bind

Since 2013, academies, free schools, voluntary aided and foundation schools have set their own term dates. Only community and voluntary controlled schools must follow the council. In City of Bristol that splits like this.

These are the legal term dates for the 30 community and voluntary controlled schools in City of Bristol. The other 128 set their own — check the school’s page.
