Easter service changes

During the Easter period, some of our services will be operating slightly different hours. Our council’s bin collection schedule will change for one week starting on Friday 29 March to make sure everyone’s waste is picked up around the bank holiday.

See the full schedule and your amended rubbish and recycling collection dates and other service changes including parking and library opening times over the Easter period.

Pupils in Islington secondary schools achieved stronger results than the national averages at the end of Key Stage 4 (GCSEs and equivalent) in 2022. Islington pupils achieved a higher attainment 8 score (49.9) than national (48.9), and the Islington average score improved by around twice as much as the national average compared to the pre-pandemic results in 2019. Higher proportions of Islington pupils achieved standard passes (grade 4 and above) and strong passes (grade 5 and above) in English and Maths than pupils nationally.
