Where these dates come from: term and holiday dates come from Leicester Council’s published calendar; we re-check Elmbrook School’s website about every 3 months for INSET days and any changes, and your calendar updates itself when we find them. Spotted a mistake? Tell us.

Questions parents ask
When is Leicester half term in October 2026?
Sat 17 Oct 2026 to Sun 25 Oct 2026 inclusive. Pupils at Elmbrook School return on the next school day.
When does Elmbrook School 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 Elmbrook School term dates?
Term and holiday dates come from Leicester Council's published calendar, which Elmbrook School follows as a local-authority maintained school. INSET days are set by the school individually.
Are INSET days included?
Not yet for Elmbrook School. 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.
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.
