The school PDF covers every year group. Hermo finds only your children’s dates.

Upload the calendar your school sent home. Hermo reads all of it, picks out the events for your children’s years, classes and teams, and adds the ones you tick to Google Calendar.

Nothing reaches your calendar until you tick and confirm

Three steps, about a minute.

The school hands you the year as a PDF. Hermo hands back the part that belongs to your family.

1

Upload the PDF

Drag in the calendar, term letter, or fixtures list the school published. Hermo reads every page, images and all.

2

Hermo picks out your children’s

It knows which year and class each of your children is in, so their year-group events, parent evenings, trips and fixtures come back ticked. The rest is set aside, not thrown away.

3

You cast an eye and add

Untick anything you don’t want, then press add. The events land in Google Calendar with the right child’s name on them.

Anything can read a PDF. Knowing which dates are yours is the hard part.

A school calendar is written for six hundred families at once. Hermo reads it as if it were written for yours.

It knows which children are yours.

Tell Hermo your children once and every upload after that is filtered for them. The Y3 vaccinations, the Reception staggered start, the parent evening for their year and not the other seven: those come back ticked. Everything else is set aside behind a tap, grouped by year group, in case a date you want got filed under the wrong one.

Sport fixtures, by team, not by school.

A fixtures list runs to dozens of teams. Tick the ones your child actually plays for and their matches appear underneath: the date, who they’re playing, kick-off time, and whether it’s home or away. Nobody needs the Under 10 C results in their calendar.

Every date checked back against the page.

A wrong date is worse than no date. So Hermo checks each event it found against the words actually printed in your PDF, and drops anything it can’t match. It also compares the weekday the school printed with the date beside it, which catches the classic case of a school reusing last year’s calendar and leaving the old days in.

Two schools whose dates never line up.

When your children are at different schools, the terms, the inset days and the fixture lists rarely match up. Each school gets a card of its own showing which of your children are there and what you haven’t added yet, so the gap is easy to spot. Drop in a new newsletter or fixtures list whenever one arrives.

Then Watchers take over.

Dates in a calendar still need someone to act on them. Once they’re in, Hermo surfaces them ahead of need: half-term while there are still club places, the trip deadline before it closes, the fixture the night before so the kit gets washed.

Your children’s school year, sorted in one upload.

Upload the PDF, tick what’s yours, and the year lands where both of you can see it. Hermo takes it from there.
