The summer holidays are in full swing but you may be looking ahead to the coming school year already.

Perhaps you're scrambling to arrange school uniforms and get all the necessary stationary, or maybe you're looking ahead to find the ideal dates for a week away.

Worcestershire County Council has released the term dates for the coming school year from September 2024 until July 2025, meaning parents, students and teachers can get themselves organised ahead of the coming term.

Here are all the key dates you need to know ahead of the academic year - however, it is important to remember schools will also set their own teach training day, known as TED days.

Parents are encouraged to check specific term dates with their child's school, as teacher training days and end of year exam dates could mean that term times between various Worcestershire schools could differ.
