Term dates and INSET days in Wakefield
Wakefield publishes term dates for the schools it maintains. Academies, free schools and voluntary-aided schools set their own term dates, so they often differ from the council’s — and INSET days are usually picked school by school on top of that. So the dates that matter to your family are the ones on your school’s letter, not the published calendar.
Equal House doesn’t guess them. You enter your school’s term start and end once and add the closures it has published — half term, bank holidays, INSET days — and the app fills in every school day between, skipping the days off. Add a closure later and the runs it covers come off the calendar.

Questions parents in Wakefield ask
Does Equal House know Wakefield term dates and INSET days?
No — and it doesn't guess. Academies, free schools and voluntary-aided schools set their own term dates, so they often differ from the council’s, and INSET days are usually picked school by school. You enter your school's term start and end once, add the closures it has published (half term, bank holidays, INSET days), and Equal House fills in every school day between them and skips the rest.
Which Wakefield schools are covered?
All 158 in Wakefield — every school in our directory for the area is listed on this page, and searchable in the app by name or postcode.
Do both parents see the school run?
Yes. Drop-offs and pick-ups land on the household calendar everyone in the family can see, so the week is something you divide up together rather than something one person keeps in their head. The entries are the household’s, not one person’s — Equal House doesn’t decide who drives.
What about uniform, PE and swimming days?
Each child gets an all-day item on the days that need something specific — PE kit, swimming kit, non-uniform — colour-coded to that child, so the whole household can see what needs to be in the bag.
Is it free?
Equal House is free with a rolling three-day planning horizon, so you can set your school up and see the next few days straight away. Seeing the whole term ahead is part of Pro, at £2.99 a month or £29.90 a year for the whole household.
