Term dates and school holidays
East Sussex schools have a fixed spring break, rather than allowing Easter to determine the date of the holiday. There is a one week holiday in autumn, February and early summer.
Four days are allocated for staff training, when the schools are closed to pupils. The dates of these extra days are not fixed by the Children's Services Authority and can vary from school to school.
For information about individual school closure dates, go to our find schools in East Sussex page.
