However, while schools may use their discretionary days, where available, to determine the precise start and end of the school year, it is recognised the commencement of State examinations will mean that post-primary schools will not be open for tuition beyond the Friday preceding the June bank holiday in any year. The expectation is that the school year will normally commence during the week in which the 1st of September falls. However, a school year may commence in the week prior to that in which 1st of September falls in circumstances where otherwise it would not be practicable for the school to meet the overall requirement of a minimum of 166 days at post-primary level or 182 days at primary level, and in such a case the school should ensure that the date of commencement is as close as possible to 1st of September.
