When does Henry Whipple Primary School go back to school in 2026/27?

Are these the official Henry Whipple Primary School term dates?
Term and holiday dates come from Nottingham Council's published calendar, which Henry Whipple Primary 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.
