Term datesMerton Court School

Sidcup • DA14 4QULocal authority: Bexley

These are Merton Court School's own term dates for 2025/26 and 2026/27 — read from mertoncourtprep.co.uk. The school hasn't published 2027/28 yet, so those years are filled from Bexley council's calendar: term dates and holidays, but not the school's own training days, usually five a year. Expect a few extra closed days. We re-check every few days and swap in the school's dates the moment they appear.

How we read these
  1. 1Opened the term-dates page on mertoncourtprep.co.uk.
  2. 2Downloaded 2 documents: School-Secretary_202509111406.pdf, Summer-2026.pdf.
  3. 3Read the dates out of the document with our language model.
  4. 4Kept 29 dates of the school's own for 25/26, 26/27; 27/28 is Bexley council's dates until the school publishes its own — and we re-check every few days, so they stay right on their own.
