Schools to finish summer term early for next two years

Schedule change for teacher training

Schools on the Isle of Man will finish the summer term two-days earlier next year and in 2025.

The Department of Education, Sport and Culture says it's altered the schedule to allow for teacher training.

It means the 2024 summer term will finish on Friday 19 July instead of Tuesday 23 July as previously planned.

Education Minister Julie Edge says the decision will 'benefit our teachers, students and educational establishments and we wanted parents to have as much notice as possible.’

In 2025, schools will now close to students on Friday 18 July.
