Somerset

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 Somerset that splits like this.

We don’t have Somerset’s term dates yet

When we have them they will apply to the 73 community and voluntary controlled schools below.
