The Cabinet Secretary for Education has confirmed that plans to change the school holidays will not happen this Senedd term, to give teachers and staff space and time to deliver other reforms.
In a statement yesterday she confirmed that changes to the school year will not take place in 2025 to 2026 and any decision on timing will be deferred to the next Senedd term.
That means that any future changes to the school year are unlikely to be introduced before 2028.
The consultation was the biggest Welsh Government education consultation on record, generating well over 16,000 responses, which sought views on changing the school calendar to spread school holidays out more evenly across the year.
Term dates for 2025 to 2026 will be published by local authorities shortly.
