NewsTraining on the Revised Curriculum: 189-day Year for 2007-8
Date: 01.12.07
Power for some schools to take an extra non-teaching day during 2007-8.
189-day Year for 2007-8
The statutory power for some schools to take an extra non-teaching day during 2007-8 came into effect on 1 December 2007.
Schools can use this day to prepare for revisions to Key Stage 3. The concession applies not only to secondary schools but also to middle and special schools which teach pupils in the third Key Stage. DCSF recommends that schools wishing to take advantage of this concession should give parents and others enough notice by establishing the day in the spring or summer term of 2008. Thereafter the school year for such schools reverts to 190 days.
