Published notes for 2026/27:
  • The college publishes a single calendar of holiday commencement and return dates rather than named terms; term start/end dates here are the published return dates and the last working days before each published holiday commencement.
  • Published holidays: autumn half term commences 26 October 2026, return 2 November 2026; Christmas commences 21 December 2026, return 4 January 2027; spring half term commences 15 February 2027, return 22 February 2027; Easter commences 5 April 2027, return 19 April 2027; summer half term commences 31 May 2027, return 7 June 2027.
  • Staff CPD: 21 October 2026 (students return 23 October 2026) and 14 July 2027. The page also lists a Staff CPD entry dated '22 February 2026', which appears to be a misprint in the 2026/27 calendar.
  • May bank holiday: 3 May 2027, return 4 May 2027.
  • End of year is printed as '16 July 2026' on the 2026/27 page; 16 July falls on a Friday in 2027, so the year appears to be a misprint and 2027-07-16 is used here.
  • Leeds City College is a member of Luminate Education Group.
