Non-contact days 2008-2009 (PDF 71Kb)
A list of Redbridge schools showing the dates of staff training days during term time when pupils do not attend school (known as INSET or non-contact days).

  1. There are 194 days included in the above term dates. Four of the five non-contact days for in-service training and school related activities, when pupils will not be in school, are to be selected by governing bodies from within the term dates. One extra day will need to set outside of these dates.
  2. School INSET days should be agreed and Children's Services and parents informed as soon as possible after the governing body meeting in the autumn term.
  3. The above dates are subject to change if imposed by statutory legislation.

We have adopted the school holiday dates given by ALG (Association of London Governors).

We have no control over the Religious or Foundation schools (these schools choose their own holiday dates). If you are unhappy, contact the school your child is attending.

The local authority has asked schools to adopt a policy of zero tolerance for leave of absence taken during term time without the permission of the Headteacher.
