Are these the official Lancaster Independent School for Alternative Learning (Lisal) term dates?
Yes. Lancaster Independent School for Alternative Learning (Lisal) sets its own term dates and publishes them itself, so these come from the school's own calendar rather than from Lancashire Council — an independent school's terms often differ from the council's by a week or more. Every date is labelled with its source.
Are INSET days included?
Not yet for Lancaster Independent School for Alternative Learning (Lisal). We take INSET days from the school's own published calendar, and this one does not list them separately. Leave the INSET box ticked anyway: this is a live subscription, so once we confirm them they appear in your calendar automatically.
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.
