Where these dates come from: dates marked “school” come from St Mary's Preparatory’s own published calendar; we re-check St Mary's Preparatory’s website about every 3 months for INSET days and any changes, and your calendar updates itself when we find them. Spotted a mistake? Tell us.

Questions parents ask
When is Oxfordshire half term in October 2025?
Mon 20 Oct 2025 to Sun 2 Nov 2025 inclusive. Pupils at St Mary's Preparatory return on the next school day.
When does St Mary's Preparatory go back to school in 2025/26?
The first day of the 2025/26 academic year is Wed 3 Sep 2025.
Does St Mary's Preparatory set its own term dates?
St Mary's Preparatory is an other independent school, so it can set term dates that differ from Oxfordshire Council's. The dates here come from the council calendar unless we have verified the school's own published dates, and every date is labelled with its source.
Are INSET days included?
Not yet for St Mary's Preparatory. INSET days are set by each school individually rather than by the council, so they are not in the council calendar. Leave the INSET box ticked anyway: this is a live subscription, so once we confirm this school's INSET days they appear in your calendar automatically. You do not need to come back and re-add anything.
Will the calendar update by itself?
Yes. It is a live subscription, not a one-off copy: your calendar re-checks it automatically, so next year's dates appear without you doing anything, and any correction reaches you the same way. It is free, and you can unsubscribe in one click.
