Most parents need to know “When are my kids not at school?”, but schools answer a subtly different question: “What are the term dates for the year?”. Parents are left stitching together term dates, inset days and bank holidays themselves — so Lidley did it for you.

Parents and carers have 3 big questions about school dates:
When can we go on holiday?
When do we need childcare?
When do the kids go back to school?
Schools publish term dates and inset days, but they don’t directly answer those questions. Parents are left stitching together term dates, inset days and bank holidays themselves.
Lidley reduces that mental load.
Instead of showing school terms, we show practical holiday periods — including school holidays, inset days and bank holidays together in one clear timeline.
You can also turn surrounding weekends on or off:
weekends on → better for holiday planning
weekends off → better for childcare planning
Our aim is simple: less admin, easier planning, calmer family life.
