Questions parents ask
When is Leicestershire half term in October 2026?
Sat 17 Oct 2026 to Sun 25 Oct 2026 inclusive. Pupils at Homefield College return on the next school day.
When does Homefield College go back to school in 2026/27?
The first day of the 2026/27 academic year is Mon 24 Aug 2026.
Are these the official Homefield College term dates?
Term and holiday dates come from Leicestershire Council's published calendar, which Homefield College follows as a local-authority maintained school. INSET days are set by the school individually.
Are INSET days included?
Not yet for Homefield College. 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.
