How we read Newlands Girls' School

last read 21 Sept 2026, 10:50 UTC · took 96.8s · 43 dates across 2 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, the sentences we found in them, and which sentence produced which date. If a date below is wrong, the sentence that caused it is here too.

Find the page

saved for next time

We start at the school's website and follow it to whatever it publishes term dates on. That address is saved, so every later check goes straight there.

5 files came back. We fingerprint the contents (7d2b7f6484…b797bcfcfb). If the fingerprint matches last time's, the school hasn't changed anything and we stop here.

Read it

96.8s

A language model pulled out 52 sentences that state a date. It quotes; it never paraphrases, so we can always show you what it saw. 1 other file was 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.

What the school wrote

What went in your calendar

Terms come straight from two sentences: one saying the school opens, one saying it closes. The holidays between them are marked derived because no sentence states them. We take the day after one term ends to the day before the next begins. Anything marked from Windsor and Maidenhead council is a year the school has not published yet, filled in from the council until it does.

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.
