The third term will start on Monday October 4, ending on Friday December 17 with the first term of 2022 starting on January 10 next year. All holiday breaks this year will have 23 days, far shorter than normal so that pupils can catch up on the work that has been missed through the long furloughs required last year and this year to beat back Covid-19.
The academic calendar has 56 learning days for the first term, 53 for the second term and 55 in the third term, with public holidays being observed and no learning taking place on these days.
