FAQs
Do all Bexley primary schools follow the same term dates?
No. Six schools – Birkbeck, Crook Log, Danson, Dulverton, Fosters, and Longlands – take a two-week October half-term instead of the standard one week.
Are Bexley school holidays different for secondary schools?
Yes. These dates apply specifically to Bexley maintained primary schools. Secondary schools and academies may set their own term dates independently.
What happens if a bank holiday falls during the school holidays?
It has no effect on term dates. Schools are already closed, so the bank holiday simply falls within the existing holiday period.
Are INSET days included in these term dates?
No. INSET days (staff training days) are set by individual schools and are not listed in the council’s standard term date schedule.
When do Bexley schools return after the Easter holidays in 2027?
Pupils return on Monday 12 April 2027 after the Easter break, which runs from Friday 26 March to Friday 9 April 2027.
