Term datesThe Dean Academy

Secondary • Lydney • GL15 5DZLocal authority: Gloucestershire

These are The Dean Academy's own term dates for 2026/27 — read from thedeanacademy.org. The school hasn't published 2025/26 and 2027/28 yet, so those years are filled from Gloucestershire 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.

  4. 4Kept 17 dates of the school's own for 26/27; 25/26, 27/28 are Gloucestershire council's dates until the school publishes its own — and we re-check every few days, so they stay right on their own.
