School Term Dates in Mansfield

Term dates for schools in Mansfield are set by Nottinghamshire County Council for community schools, and published each academic year — typically three terms with a half-term break in each, plus five inset (teacher training) days that vary school by school.

Check this year's dates

The official term calendar for Mansfield schools is published by Nottinghamshire County Council:

Academies and faith schools may differ

Academies, free schools and some faith schools set their own term dates and don't have to follow the council calendar — most stay close to it, but always confirm dates and inset days on your school's own website before booking anything.

Term-time holidays and fines

Taking children out of school in term time without the head teacher's permission can lead to a penalty notice — currently £80 per parent per child (rising to £160 if unpaid within 21 days). Requests for term-time leave go to your school, not the council.
