Development Days

Development Day Closures


School Development Days are specified days on which teachers attend for planning, in-service training, curriculum development or staff development purposes.

Within 2007/08 school year, 4 dates must be determined by the Governing Body in Primary schools. In Secondary schools 5 dates must be determined by the Governing Body. The LA has set 1 School Development Day (3 September 2007).

Schools are responsible for informing parents of these dates and any queries should be referred to the relevant school.
