Maintained schools can only have 5 inset days, multi-academy trusts have the flexibility to set a different number of inset days.

In line with other local multi-academy trusts, Salterns Trust places great value on the professional development of its staff, as we know that ensuring children have high quality interactions every day with adults in school is key to their development and success in their learning.  

The decision to have 7 inset days has been carefully chosen to allow sufficient time for staff development (both within school and through opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across the Trust) and ensure a positive impact on learning for the 188 days that children attend school.

We have Inset Days on the following dates:

Wednesday 3rd September 2025

Thursday 4th September 2025

Friday 28th November 2025

Monday 5th January 2026
