How to Use This Template
Fill Term 1 Name with Term 1 Start and Term 1 End, then repeat for Term 2 and Term 3 so the whole year fits on one page. Add Key Dates (one per line) for parents' evenings, exam windows and closure days.
Use Calendar Legend to explain any colour coding, and confirm dates against your local authority calendar before printing. Pin copies in the staff room, attach the sheet to the first newsletter of the year, and reissue whenever a term date moves — never let two versions circulate.
Cross-check every date against your local authority's published calendar and the exam-board timetable before printing, because one wrong inset day generates dozens of calls. Reprint whenever a date moves and withdraw the old sheet from noticeboards the same afternoon — two versions circulating is worse than a late update.
When to Use This Template
Publishing term dates for the year
Set the term start and end dates once, list the holidays and in-service days, and circulate the calendar to parents before the year begins.
Mid-year schedule changes
When a closure or extra event is announced, update the affected month and reissue the calendar so families are working from the same dates.
Publishing to every channel
Export the finished calendar as a PDF and attach it to your website, newsletter and parent app so every channel shows the same term dates and in-service days.
