Inset and flexible days

Pupils are required to be in school 190 days. Five inset days each year will be determined by each individual school.

Tower Hamlets has previously included two flexible days for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, however both Eids fall during the holiday period in 2020, therefore this has been taken into consideration in the above term dates for 2019-20.

Start of Ramadan	Sunday 5 May	Thursday 23 April
Eid-Al-Fitr	Tuesday 4 June	Sunday 24 May
