These are the dates Sheffield sets for its community and voluntary-controlled schools. Academies, free schools, foundation, voluntary-aided and independent schools set their own dates, and they may differ.
Your school may add INSET days, when pupils stay at home while teachers train. They are not listed here, so check your school's own calendar for them.
