Pupil days (holidays and term times)

Term dates are for Tameside MBC community schools. Academies, Free Schools and Voluntary Aided Schools are able to set their own term dates. We therefore recommend also checking school websites to confirm the correct dates for those schools.

Future Elections

Local Elections will take place on Thursday 6 May 2027 and Thursday 4 May 2028.

Individual Schools will advise if the school is subject to closure on Election dates. General elections are usually regarded as an unavoidable closure due to the late notice that is often given.

Whit Fridays

Mossley primary schools, where the majority of pupils take part in processions, must take this as a pupil closure day if it falls during term time. Parents of secondary pupils who wish their child to take part should obtain the consent of the governing body to their absence from school.
