See the shared calendarPlanning handovers around these dates.
Term dates set the rhythm of co-parenting: half terms, bank-holiday weekends and the long summer stretch are when handover plans need agreeing early. A little structure — who collects, who returns, which weeks are whose — takes the friction out of every break. Our guide to splitting school holidays covers the common patterns (week-about, split-the-break, alternate years) and how to record what you agree, and the free holiday plan template gives you somewhere to write it down.

Common questions.

- The next break is Autumn half term, 26–30 October 2026. All half terms for 2026/27 & 2027/28 are in the tables above.
- What are INSET days?
- INSET days are staff-training days when schools close to pupils. Each school chooses its own — they're not set by Kingston upon Hull, City of and don't appear in council calendars, so check your school's own calendar.
- Do academies follow these dates?
- Not necessarily. Academies and free schools set their own term dates, though most stay close to Kingston upon Hull, City of's calendar. If your child's school is an academy, check its website.
- Why is your first day back sometimes later than the council's?
- Because we list the first day pupils go back. Some councils count a staff training day as the first day of term, which makes their published start a day earlier than ours. Children are not in school on those days.
