Report a Date Discrepancy
Has your local council changed a term date, or did your academy announce a variation? Submit details below and our editorial team will audit and update the schedule.
Our 5-Stage Verification Audit Workflow
To guarantee that parents and teachers can rely unconditionally on published dates, every submission triggers a strict editorial protocol before any database change goes live:
1. Intake & Cross-Reference
The report is logged against the council’s unique ONS code and existing verified database entry.
2. Primary Evidence Check
An auditor accesses the relevant council executive committee minutes, published PDF term orders, or statutory calendar notices.
3. Academy vs Maintained Classification
If the report pertains to a single academy or multi-academy trust, the variation is evaluated against the wider local authority policy.
4. Calendar Feed Regeneration
Upon validation, the database is updated and RFC 5545 iCalendar (.ics) subscription feeds are immediately recompiled.
5. Public Audit Log Entry
The updated council entry displays a revised verification timestamp confirming the fresh audit date.

Information for School Governors & Council Officers
If you represent an education department, school admissions forum, or academy trust central office, you can submit official term date schedules, committee resolutions, or amended calendars directly.
