School term dates 2006/07 to 2021/22 by local authority
Dear Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council,
Please could you provide the school term dates set by your authority between the academic years 2006/07 and 2021/22?
If possible, please could you: (1) supply these dates in .csv or .xlsx (Excel) format; (2) include the dates for each of the six half terms for each academic year; (3) for each half term, list the ‘Open’ date as the first day that local authority schools were open and the ‘Close’ date as the last day that local authority schools were open; (4) state that a school was ‘Open’ even if it is expected that all schools used that date as in INSET (in-service training) day; (5) ignore the early May bank holidays, Easter weekend (if not in holiday time), royal events, and any other nation-wide public holidays.
If your authority has undergone boundary changes in this period, please indicate this in your response but still provide dates for the previous authority.
In case it is useful, I have created a spreadsheet proforma for the information which can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/termdatesEng
I am making this request under the FOI Act. Many thanks, in advance, for your help.
Yours faithfully,
Hester Burn

This has been passed to the relevant service and you will receive a response by 8 March 2023.
In line with guidance published by the Information Commissioner’s Office, the council may make a charge for the provision of information – for example in order to cover the costs of postage (in line with the relevant postal charges) or charges for printing and copying (which will reflect photocopying charges levied by the council’s public libraries) or if this falls within the regulations of an EIR (Environmental Information).
