Changes to School Year
In 2025, schools will now close to students on Friday July 18.
Schools will finish the summer term two-days earlier in 2024 and 2025.
It means the summer term will finish on Friday July 19 in 2024, instead of Tuesday 23 July as previously planned.
The move will allow the DESC to ‘allocate time to staff training and Continuous Professional Development’.
Education Minister Julie Edge said: ‘It is crucial that we invest in our teachers and other school staff and this plan will allow us to do it. Ultimately this decision will benefit our teachers, students and educational establishments and we wanted parents to have as much notice as possible.’
