34.1 The Lead Member considered a report on the proposed amendment to the school term and holiday dates for the academic year 2021/22.
34.2 RESOLVED – to approve that the academic year 2021/22 finishes one day early on, Thursday 21 July 2022.
Reason
34.3 The additional bank holiday on 3 June 2022, to celebrate the Queens Platinum Jubilee falls within the East Sussex school term and holiday dates for 2021/22. The expectation is that arrangements will be put in place to ensure that the schools’ workforce benefit from the additional bank holiday if the date falls in the school holidays. The school term and holiday calendar for 2021/22 will be updated to reflect the decision. Schools, relevant services and other key stakeholders will be notified of the decision.
