Where these dates come from: dates marked “school” come from The Holmewood School’s own published calendar; we re-check The Holmewood 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 Barnet half term in October 2026?
Sat 24 Oct 2026 to Sun 1 Nov 2026 inclusive. Pupils at The Holmewood School return on the next school day.
When does The Holmewood School go back to school in 2026/27?
The first day of the 2026/27 academic year is Thu 3 Sep 2026.
Does The Holmewood School set its own term dates?
The Holmewood School is an other independent special school, so it can set term dates that differ from Barnet Council's. The dates here come from the council calendar unless we have verified the school's own published dates, and every date is labelled with its source.
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.
