Where these dates come from: term and holiday dates come from East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s published calendar; we re-check Cottingham High 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.

Free, and it keeps itself up to date: next year’s dates appear on their own, and any INSET days we confirm from the school appear automatically.

Questions parents ask
When is East Riding of Yorkshire half term in October 2026?
Sat 24 Oct 2026 to Sun 1 Nov 2026 inclusive. Pupils at Cottingham High School return on the next school day.
When does Cottingham High School go back to school in 2026/27?
The first day of the 2026/27 academic year is Mon 7 Sep 2026.
Does Cottingham High School set its own term dates?
Cottingham High School is an academy converter, so it can set term dates that differ from East Riding of Yorkshire 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.
Are INSET days included?
Not yet for Cottingham High 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.
