- Individual schools have discretion for determining exact holidays within the guidelines however if a school chooses to open on a non-operational date, they must make parents aware that these services will not be available.
- For 2023/2024 the total school holiday entitlement is 72 days. This leaves 4 days for optional closure at the discretion of the school and these should be marked as such on your calendar return.
- School calendar returns and queries should be directed to SchoolHoliday.Returns@eani.org.uk. Schools should also liaise with their local EA Transport Office to confirm the arrangements that will apply in their case.
