Dorset School Holidays 2018 and 2019
This page contains the 2018 and 2019 school holidays as published by the Dorset County Council in England to help you start planning.
Generally, the holiday dates announced at a council level don’t change very often. However, we encourage you to check back regularly for any amendments that may occur, and to consult the Dorset County Council website for their 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 approved calendar.
Also note that:
- Dates may vary for voluntary aided and foundation schools
- Dates for individual schools may vary due to teacher training days and other school-specific considerations
