Consultation on proposed school term dates for 2022/23

6th January 2021

Term dates for community and voluntary controlled schools are set by West Berkshire Council following a consultation process.   West Berkshire will ‘propose’ term dates and would recommend that schools consider aligning term dates with other schools in the area, for example, secondary schools with primary schools, in recognition of families with children at different schools. 

In West Berkshire, the set dates traditionally include a common INSET at the start of the Autumn Term.  Therefore, 191 days are set with recommendations for the remaining 4 INSET days.

The 2022/23 proposal for West Berkshire sets a common INSET day on Friday 2nd September 2022 and suggests other inset days on Friday 21 October 2022, Monday 31 October 2022, Tuesday 3 January 2023 and Friday 31 March 2023.   We have aligned our term dates with neighbouring authorities to try to alleviate any cross border difficulties.

The proposed dates for 2022/23 have been through our internal consultation process and are now available for public consultation.  The consultation runs from 5 January until 26 February 2021. 

Proposed Term Dates for 2022/23

These term dates provide a guide. Sometimes a school may adjust the dates slightly due to specific circumstances, and we recommend that you check with the school if a specific date is key to your plans, e.g. before making a holiday booking.
