Lessons per weekday — why “same fee every term” never adds up
Bank holidays during term — lessons these days need rescheduling or crediting
    Suggested billing dates — invoices out before each term starts

      Why count the days

      The year is never as even as the fee.

      A Monday pupil and a Wednesday pupil don’t get the same number of lessons — bank holidays land unevenly. Counting the real year is how fair billing starts.

      Mondays lose the most

      Nearly every UK bank holiday is a Monday. A Monday-evening pupil can lose three or four lessons a year — and a flat termly fee quietly overcharges them.

      Billing before the term

      Invoices that land two weeks before term starts get paid before the teaching begins — not chased after it ends. The planner gives you the three dates.

      Closures, planned once

      Half terms and bank holidays set at the start of the year mean no accidental lessons booked on closed days — and no awkward refunds later.

      Questions

      About this planner.

      Where do the bank holidays come from?
      The official UK bank-holiday rules for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, for 2026 and 2027 — including substitute days. Always sanity-check against gov.uk for your exact year, especially for one-off holidays.
      My local authority’s dates are different.
      They will be — England alone has 150+ local authorities setting their own dates. The defaults are just a typical pattern; change any date and everything recounts instantly.
      What’s in the calendar download?
      An .ics file your calendar app understands: each term as an event, half terms, every bank holiday that falls in term time, and your three billing dates as reminders. Import it into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook.
      Should I bill by the term or the month?
      Termly is the UK norm and matches how parents think. Whichever you choose, invoice before the teaching starts — the planner suggests dates with your chosen lead time.
      Do I have to give you my email?
      No. The planner runs entirely on this page, the download is generated in your browser, and nothing is sent anywhere.
