February and May 2027 come from 2026/27 calendars; October 2027 comes from 2027/28 calendars, which fewer councils have published so far. A blank cell means this site holds no confirmed date for that break, either because the council's calendar does not state it separately or because no calendar for that year is confirmed here yet. It never means there is no half term.
