School holidays 2026/2027 The table below lists the non-operational dates for schools in the 2026/2027 academic year. It is worth noting that schools can operate on these dates at their own discretion to suit their individual circumstances. | Event | Dates (inclusive) | Schools resume after summer holiday | 1 September 2026 | Halloween | 29 & 30 October 2026 | Christmas and New Year | 21 December 2026 to 1 January 2027 | Mid-term | 11 & 12 February 2027 | St Patrick's Day | 17 March 2027 | Easter | 25 March to 2 April 2027 | May Day | 3 May 2027 | Spring Bank Holiday | 31 May 2027 | Summer holiday begins | 1 July 2027 Note: Schools also have the discretion to take a number of staff training and school development days. Pupils do not attend on these days and such days are likely to differ from school-to-school. Exceptionally, during the 2026/27 academic year, recognising the need for schools to engage with the significant TransformED NI programme of reform of teaching and learning, the Minister has granted three additional closure days, one per term. These have been specified as 25 September 2026, 25 January 2027 and 4 May 2027.
