Leeds school holidays: Full list of 2023/2024 term dates - including May half term and Summer

As the new year is underway, you might be making exciting plans for the rest of the year. Whether that is holidays abroad, trips to see relatives or just time to chill out - knowing the kids’ school schedules will be a big help.

Leeds City Council has released a list of dates for local schools as a guide for the year. However, Leeds Council reminds parents that some schools, including academies, free schools, foundation schools and faith schools (voluntary-aided schools) set their own timetables throughout the year.

Meanwhile, each school in Leeds will also be closed for five training days a year. Training days are different for each school, so to find out when they are happening contact your school directly.

We have listed the school term dates for Leeds until the end of the year.
