Dorset School Holidays 2020 and 2021
This page contains the 2020 and 2021 school holidays as published by the Dorset 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 Council website for their 2019-2020 approved calendar and 2020-2021 approved calendar.
Also note that dates for individual schools may vary due to teacher training days and other school-specific considerations.
