How this works
- The reference is a typical London state-school pattern for 2025-26. Each local authority publishes its own dates, usually within 3 days of it.
- Score: 100 minus (start and end drift in days × 0.7) minus (half-term drift in days × 1.5), between 0 and 100. Half-term gaps count for more.
- A half-term “clash” means the school's half-term starts 7 or more days from the reference, so siblings at state school may have a different week off.
