Where these dates come from: term and holiday dates come from Hackney Council’s published calendar; dates marked “school” come from Gayhurst Community School’s own published calendar; we re-check Gayhurst Community School’s website about every 3 months for INSET days and any changes, and your calendar updates itself when we find them.

Questions parents ask
When is Hackney half term in October 2026?
Mon 26 Oct 2026 to Sun 1 Nov 2026 inclusive. Pupils at Gayhurst Community School return on the next school day.
When does Gayhurst Community School go back to school in 2026/27?
The first day of the 2026/27 academic year is Thu 3 Sep 2026.
Are these the official Gayhurst Community School term dates?
Term and holiday dates come from Hackney Council's published calendar, which Gayhurst Community School follows as a local-authority maintained school. INSET days are set by the school individually.
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.
What else can Hermo do for us?
Hermo is a family organiser that does the organising. It reads the school emails directly (no forwarding), pulls trips, dress-up days and payment deadlines into your Google Calendar, and answers questions you’ve told it before (“what size shoe is Mia?”, “where’s the health insurance number?”) so either parent can get the answer in WhatsApp. The weekend watcher looks ahead midweek and flags what’s coming; the half-term watcher surfaces the break weeks early with club and activity options. No new app to install.
Try Hermo →
The dates are the easy part. Covering the holidays is the bit that creeps up. Hermo starts on each school break weeks ahead, with local clubs, prices and times.
