The Clere School term dates 2026-27
The published term dates for The Clere School, Newbury, read from the school's own calendar and shown with the source below.
Next up: Autumn Term (1) starts on Thu 3 Sep 2026 — tomorrow.
Both buttons end in the same live calendar. It appears as [Fred] The Clere School alongside your own, and because it stays linked to this page, if The Clere 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 The Clere 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.
