Questions

Whose term dates are these?

Each council's published dates for its community and voluntary-controlled schools. Academies, free schools and independent schools can set their own dates.

Why is my council marked 'not yet published'?

Councils usually publish dates one to two years ahead. Until the council publishes them we show nothing rather than a guess, and we check every month.

Can I add the dates to my calendar?

Yes. Every council page with published dates has a calendar download (.ics) for Google, Apple and Outlook calendars.
