Worth noting
PDF titled '2026-2027 Term Dates' but also contains Spring/Summer 2026 (2025-26); only the 2026-27 year is recorded here. The PDF contains internal errors: the Autumn Term 2026 half-term row reads 'Thurs 22nd - Fri 30th Bank Holiday- School closed' with no month printed, so it is omitted rather than guessed; the Spring Term 2027 block also carries a stray 'Fri 10 Jul End of term' row copied from Summer 2026; the Summer 2027 rows label 3 May as 'Half Term' and 31 May-4 June as 'End of term', which appear transposed. Dates recorded exactly as printed.
