Lancashire schools term times 2025/2026: These are the 2025/26 term dates & holidays for Lancashire schools
The end of the summer holidays is upon us, so we’re taking a look at the term dates for the upcoming school year.
We’re taking a look at the term dates for community, voluntary controlled and special schools across Lancashire for the remainder of this school year.


Academy, foundation and voluntary aided schools set their own term dates.
We strongly advise that parents/carers should check their child's individual school arrangements prior to making a commitment to a holiday or any other event as the dates set for each establishment may vary.
Schools are also asked to designate their five INSET days from within the number of openings provided.
