Term dates for Staffordshire
Term Dates for 2025-26 have been set for Staffordshire Local Authority schools. Whilst Academies are free to set their own term dates, at Cheslyn Hay we follow the main term dates set by Staffordshire. Schools, in addition, are able to arrange their own INSET (In Service Training) days.
INSET Days
Cheslyn Hay Academy sets 6 INSET days each academic year. One INSET day is taken on the day before school starts in the Autumn Term (Tuesday 1 September) in accordance with LA approaches. The remaining 5 days will be published on this website when they are agreed.
