Official cases not to miss in 2026
These cases come from the official school calendars. They matter especially for families because they can create a real school bridge without being a national public holiday.
Official school bridge
Ascension 2026: Friday 15 May and Saturday 16 May off
For the 2025-2026 school year, classes are cancelled on Friday 15 May 2026 and Saturday 16 May 2026 after Ascension. It is a key reference point for families trying to extend that period without wasting leave budget.
