Term datesThe Ridgeway School & Sixth Form College

Secondary • Swindon • SN4 9DJLocal authority: Swindon

These are The Ridgeway School & Sixth Form College's own term dates for 2025/26 and 2026/27 — read from ridgewayschool.com. The school hasn't published 2027/28 yet, so those years are filled from Swindon 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.
