Council-published INSET days: Tue 1 Sep 2026, Mon 4 Jan 2027
Council publishes term start/half term/end only (half-term periods derived: 26-30 Oct, 15-19 Feb, 31 May-4 Jun; Easter gap 26 Mar-9 Apr). AMBIGUITY: the council lists Autumn 'Starts: 1 September 2026' and also '1 September 2026 (PD)', and Spring 'Starts: 4 January 2027' and '4 January 2027 (PD)'. In the 2025/26 table the PD day falls the day before the stated start (PD 1 Sep 2025, start 2 Sep 2025), so for 2026/27 pupils may actually return on 2 Sep 2026 and 5 Jan 2027. Recorded start dates are as published; PD days listed as inset_days. 31 May 2027 bank holiday is within half term.
