Stoke’s council school term dates are laid out for the current school year as a straightforward set of term, half-term, and holiday periods. Here they are in date order.
| Period | Dates |
|---|---|
| Schools open | Monday 28 April |
| May day bank holiday | Monday 5 May |
| Schools close | Friday 23 May |
| Half term | Monday 26 May to Friday 30 May |
| Schools open | Monday 2 June |
| Schools close | Monday 21 July |
| Summer holiday | Tuesday 22 July to Friday 29 August |
Schools also have five extra inset days each year, and each school chooses those dates itself. Academies and other non-council schools can set their own term dates, so it’s worth checking the school’s website for any differences.
