Lydden Primary School term dates 2025-26
The published term dates for Lydden Primary School, Dover, read from the school's own calendar and shown with the source below.
These are the 2025-26 dates. Lydden Primary School has not published the current school year yet — we check regularly and this page updates when it does. Check the school's own page before booking anything.
Both buttons end in the same live calendar. It appears as [Fred] Lydden Primary School alongside your own, and because it stays linked to this page, if Lydden Primary School moves an inset day or corrects a date it changes on your phone by itself — Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and Outlook.
The difference is what happens next. Fred sets it up on whichever calendar app you actually use — the steps are not the same on an iPhone as in Google — and then he can tell you when Lydden Primary School moves that inset day, work out who is covering it, and take the deadlines, kit lists and payments that arrive with the term. A calendar can only sit there. Taking the link yourself is free and always will be.
Downloading gives you a snapshot of today's dates that will never update — only worth it if you want a one-off copy.
