We follow the standard Wakefield term dates, as well as having 5 inset (staff training) days over the year.
We always aim to inform parents of inset days as soon as possible, so that holidays can be booked in term time and not school time. At the start of the year, we also send out a full overview of key dates for the entire academic year.
