Renfrewshire Joint Negotiating Committee for Teachers To: Renfrewshire Joint Negotiating Committee for Teachers On: 10 June 2025 Report by Joint Secretary (Management Side) School Holidays Session 2026/2027 1. Background 1.1 As you will be aware, the Education and Children’s Services Policy board is asked each year to determine a framework for school holiday arrangements. Attached at Appendix 1 is a holiday pattern that we propose to submit to the August policy board following JNC approval. 1.2 This proposal has been circulated to Head Teachers, Heads of Centre and Parent Council Chairs for their comments / feedback. 1.3 The consultation received 37 responses, 28 were in favour of the proposal and 9 were against the proposal. 1.4 The proposed patterns meet, where possible, the majority of the desirable features which are: • aligning the dates of major holidays with those of neighbouring councils; • providing a two week break at Christmas, including Christmas eve; • providing a mid-term break in February; and • providing a two week school holiday in spring. 2. Recommendation 2.1. Members of the JNC are asked to: • note the contents of this report and the appendix attached; and • agree that the calendar of holidays detailed on appendix 1, be presented to the Education and Children’s Services Policy Board at its meeting in August 2025.
