Calderdale Council sets term dates for the area’s maintained schools, published via its official term dates page. Like its neighbours in West Yorkshire, Calderdale took over full responsibility for its own education services in 1986, when West Yorkshire County Council was abolished and its five metropolitan districts became responsible for local services directly. Department for Education data shows every mainstream secondary school in Calderdale, 100%, is now an academy, though the picture is very different at primary level, where fewer than half of schools have converted. As with most local authorities, these dates apply directly to the borough’s remaining maintained schools; academies may set their own calendar, so it’s worth checking with your child’s school directly. See our guide to why academies and maintained schools have different dates for more.
