Wigston Academy Term Dates 25 26

Alright, grab a cuppa, put your feet up, and let’s have a proper chat about something that might sound a bit dry on the surface but is actually the secret sauce to a sane family life: Wigston Academy’s term dates for 2025/26. Yes, I know, I just heard you sigh. But trust me, knowing when the kids are off (and when they’re not) is like having a magical cheat code for planning your year. Let’s decode it together, shall we?

First up, the autumn term. It kicks off on Tuesday 2nd September 2025—which, let’s be honest, is a bit of a treat because you get that Monday bank holiday first. The kids trundle back, you do a little happy dance (quietly, in the kitchen), and then we all settle into the cosy rhythm of jumpers and hot chocolate. Half-term lands 27th to 31st October, perfect for a spooky movie night or a cheeky mid-term break. Then it’s a sprint to Christmas, with the term wrapping up on Friday 19th December. And yes, that means you get a whole week before Christmas to panic-buy presents in peace—or, you know, just binge-watch telly.

Now, the spring term is where things get interesting. It starts Monday 5th January 2026—a gentle return after the chaos of mince pies. The kids will be full of energy (and sugar), so brace yourself. Half-term is 16th to 20th February, which is basically the perfect excuse for a mini getaway if you can swing it. The term ends Friday 27th March 2026, just in time for Easter egg hunts. But here’s a little nugget: Easter Monday falls on 6th April, so you get a bonus bank holiday to recover from all that chocolate.

And finally, the summer term. It begins Monday 13th April 2026—and if you’re like me, by this point you’re already dreaming of picnics and longer evenings. There’s a May Day bank holiday on Monday 4th May (hooray!), and half-term is 25th to 29th May. Then comes the grand finale: term ends on Friday 17th July 2026. Yes, that means six glorious weeks of summer. Pro tip: book your camping trip now before everyone else does.

But wait—there’s more! You’ve also got training days to sneak into your calendar. Keep an eye out for those because they’re like surprise bonus holidays for you, but also a reminder to arrange childcare. Wigston Academy usually posts them a bit closer to the time, so follow them on social media or check the website like a friendly stalker.
