Periods by zone, the most useful family cases, then the right moment to switch back to the planner.
Find my zone
A department, an academy or a department code is enough. Once the right zone is found, you can compare the cards below faster.

Official references
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.
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.
How to use this page
This page helps families read the calendar faster. The planner becomes useful once you want to test a real month with your own leave budget and overlap settings.
