Teacher Training (INSET) Days in Greenwich

In England and Wales, maintained schools have 5 statutory In-Service Training (INSET) days per year when schools are closed to pupils. These are set individually by school headteachers and governing bodies rather than the central council.

Tip for Parents: INSET days are frequently scheduled on the first day of the autumn term (e.g. 2 September 2026) and adjacent to bank holidays. Check your school's website or newsletter for their 5 confirmed training dates.
