Nottingham school holidays 2026/27
The dates you need, with a little less searching. Your published 2026/27 school holidays and term dates, in one place.
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.
