Essex County Council set the holiday/term dates for all Essex community and voluntary controlled schools. The dates for 2008/09 and 2009/10 are available online via the link below, from your child's school, or you can call Essex County Council on the education helpline to request a copy. If your child attends a foundation (former grant maintained) or voluntary aided (church/faith) school, please check with the school as they set their own holiday dates, which may be different.
