Term dates: Bury council, 2025/26. INSET days: only those the school has published here, after we checked them. National admissions dates: School Admissions Code (DfE), for children starting in September 2027. When an offer day falls at a weekend or on a bank holiday it moves to the next working day. Closing dates stay the same even on a weekend. Your council may ask for earlier proof or extra forms: check its own page. GOV.UK's application pages do not list these dates.
