How we read Trinity Academy Halifax

last read 14 Aug 2026, 21:16 UTC · took 109.7s · 71 dates across 3 school years

Nobody types these dates in. A program finds whatever the school publishes its term dates on and reads it. This page is the working out: the files we downloaded, and every date we got out of them. Open the same file and you can check us.

Find the page

saved for next time

We start at the school's website and follow it to whatever it publishes term dates on, in this case a file on halifax.trinitymat.org. That address is saved, so every later check goes straight there.

11 files came back. We fingerprint the contents (2c99e71bc3…95a663eeca). If the fingerprint matches last time's, the school hasn't changed anything and we stop here.

Read it

109.7s

This school publishes its year as a colour-coded chart rather than a list of dates, so a model reads it the way you would — square by square, working out from the key what each colour means. 8 other files were read and produced nothing useful.

Work out the dates

plain code

Ordinary code takes it from here, pairing those sentences into terms and filling in the holidays between them. It also checks the year adds up: if the dates leave too few school days, we throw the whole read away rather than publish it.

Save it

one copy

The dates get written down once. The school's page, your calendar feed and this trace all read that same copy, so they can't disagree with each other.

A chart states its dates in colour, not in words, so there is nothing to quote back at you. What we can show is every date we took off it — open the file above and the two should agree square for square.

Why your calendar doesn't fill up with duplicates

Each event gets an ID built from who said it, what kind of day it is, and when it starts. Read the school again tomorrow and the same day comes out with the same ID, so your calendar updates the entry it already has rather than adding a second one.
