Questions parents ask
When is Somerset half term in October 2025?
Sat 18 Oct 2025 to Sun 2 Nov 2025 inclusive. Pupils at Wells Cathedral School return on the next school day.
When does Wells Cathedral School go back to school in 2025/26?
The first day of the 2025/26 academic year is Fri 5 Sep 2025.
Does Wells Cathedral School set its own term dates?
Wells Cathedral School is an other independent school, so it can set term dates that differ from Somerset 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.
