Understanding INSET Days in Hounslow Schools

Ever dropped the kids off only to find the school gates locked? That’s usually an INSET day. It stands for In-Service Education and Training – a day teachers spend on professional development while pupils get an unexpected day off.

Schools are allocated five INSET days per academic year. Here’s the catch: each school chooses its own dates. So, while the school term schedule might show a term starting on a Wednesday, many schools like Brentford School for Girls and The Heathland School have already scheduled INSET days on the 2nd and 3rd of September 2026. Always check your individual school’s website for their exact school training days.

Public Bank Holidays Affecting School Terms

A few bank holidays fall during term time, which means a long weekend for everyone. In 2027, the May Day bank holiday falls on Monday 3 May, neatly landing in the summer term. For other public holidays, it’s always wise to check the official GOV.UK bank holidays list.
