Term datesThe Priory School

Secondary • Hitchin • SG5 2URLocal authority: Hertfordshire

These are The Priory School's own term dates for 2026/27 — read from priory.herts.sch.uk. The school hasn't published 2025/26 and 2027/28 yet, so those years are filled from Hertfordshire 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 priory.herts.sch.uk.
  2. 2Downloaded 2 documents: The-Priory-School-Term-Dates-2026-27.pdf, document.
  3. 3Read the dates out of the document with our language model.
  4. 4Kept 18 dates of the school's own for 26/27; 25/26, 27/28 are Hertfordshire council's dates until the school publishes its own — and we re-check every few days, so they stay right on their own.
