With teachers out on strike earlier this month, childcare has been even more of a challenge for many working families, and now six weeks of long, lazy days beckon – for the kids, at least.
As GCSE and A level exams come to an end, the final bell has already sounded in some private schools, and now state school pupils are eagerly awaiting the long and hopefully hot summer.
So when exactly do the state school holidays start in London?
Let’s find out.
When do London school summer holidays start in 2023?
Many schools have the right to determine their own holidays, though the government recommends term-time and holiday dates.
That said, term times are usually the same, or very similar across the different London boroughs. Here is the most likely date for summer holidays across all London schools.
Many schools in London will break up on Friday, July 21, 2023.
Due to staff training days (INSET days) – and any closures for elections which can then mean the end of term is extended by a day – it’s always best to check with individual schools or your local council.
You can find your local council and a link to its term dates using your postcode on the gov.uk website.
When does the autumn 2023 term begin in London?
Again, it’s best to double-check with individual schools due to staff training days, as these do sometimes happen at the very start of term.
But in general, schools in London will go back for the autumn term around Monday, September 4, 2023.
