Questions parents ask
When is Oxfordshire half term in October 2025?
Mon 20 Oct 2025 to Sun 2 Nov 2025 inclusive. Pupils at Oratory Preparatory School return on the next school day.
When does Oratory Preparatory School go back to school in 2025/26?
The first day of the 2025/26 academic year is Tue 2 Sep 2025.
Does Oratory Preparatory School set its own term dates?
Oratory Preparatory School 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.
Can I get INSET days too?
Yes, INSET days are in the calendar where we have confirmed them from the school's own published dates, and each one is labelled with its source.
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.
