Term datesGosforth Academy

Secondary • Newcastle-upon-Tyne • NE3 2JHLocal authority: Newcastle upon Tyne

These are Gosforth Academy's own term dates for 2025/26 and 2026/27 — read from gosforthacademy.org.uk. The school hasn't published 2027/28 yet, so those years are filled from Newcastle upon Tyne council's calendar: term dates and holidays, but not the school's own training days, usually five a year. Expect a few extra closed days. We re-check every few days and swap in the school's dates the moment they appear.
