Cheshire West and Chester Council schools

All 180 schools in the Cheshire West and Chester area, from the school census. 90 are maintained by Cheshire West and Chester Council and follow its 2026/27 term dates; the rest set their own. Most follow the council anyway, but check with the school before booking anything. The council’s breaks on their own: Cheshire West and Chester school holidays.
