Norfolk school holidays 2026/27
Read from Norfolk 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 454 schools in Norfolk, though academies and independent schools can set their own; the finder on the home page shows what we hold for a particular school.
How Norfolk differs
- The October half term in Norfolk starts 1 day earlier and runs 1 day longer than in most of England.
- The Christmas holiday in Norfolk runs 1 day longer than in most of England.
- The Easter holiday in Norfolk runs 1 day longer than in most of England.
That matters for flights: a break that starts a day earlier or runs a week longer puts different days on the table, and the day you leave is often worth hundreds.
