Pupil Days (Holidays and Term Times)
Future Elections
There will be local and GM Mayoral elections on Thursday 2
nd May 2024.
At present, there are no Local Elections planned for 2025 (although this could change).
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.
