📆Key Dates and School Year

At Risca Primary School, we know it’s important for families to plan ahead, so we provide a clear overview of the school year and key dates.

The school year in Wales is structured  around three terms:

Each term includes scheduled holiday periods, including half-term breaks and national holidays, to give families the opportunity to enjoy quality time together.

Pupils attend school for 190 days each year. In addition, there are 6 training days (INSET days) when staff receive professional development. On these days, pupils do not attend school.

See below for details about the school years 2025/2026 and 2026/2027.
