Wigan

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 Wigan that splits like this.

We don’t have Wigan’s term dates yet

When we have them they will apply to the 33 community and voluntary controlled schools below.
