Term dates for Herefordshire
We all need to plan ahead , so need to be clear about school term and school holiday dates in advance.
Some listings and tables of school term dates can be confusing – far from ideal when planning holidays or arranging childcare for the school holidays. We are Raring2go! to make it simple. Here are the upcoming term dates for schools across Herefordshire. Please be aware your school dates may differ due to inset days! Check your school website for details.
