Angus school holidays 2026/27
Read from Angus council's own term-dates page, last on 3 October 2026. The source is here, so you can check every date below against it. They cover the 59 schools in Angus, though academies and independent schools can set their own; the finder on the home page shows what we hold for a particular school.

Angus publishes 5 of the six breaks on its page; the rest of the year follows the national pattern until the council publishes it.
“Can fly” adds the weekend either side where nobody is in school. The weekday and the Sunday are usually the cheapest days of the break to leave on.
Flights for these dates
Families in Angus mostly fly from Aberdeen (46 miles), Edinburgh, Ingliston, Edinburgh (51 miles) and Glasgow (82 miles). We price the same trip across every day of each break above, from each of them, to hundreds of places families actually book, and email you when a fare is worth a look.
