Professional development (PD) days and variations between schools
Shropshire-maintained schools and academies are required to allocate five professional development (PD) days for staff across the academic year. This may mean that your child’s school is closed on these days.
Please contact your child’s school, directly, to confirm the exact dates of the school term, PD days and holidays.
Holidays in term time
Parents and carers who need to take their child out of school during term time should contact the school before booking travel as permission may not be granted.
