Kensington and Chelsea may half term 2027
Published may half term information for 2026/27. Closing and pupil return dates are shown where explicitly supplied.
A quick note for parents. Council dates usually apply to community and voluntary controlled schools. Academies, foundation and voluntary aided schools can differ. INSET days are set by each school; a term opening date is not necessarily a pupil return date.
