This is an A4 printable year-to-view calendar for the 2023-2024 school year. I have highlighted in green each Bank Holiday and have shaded the weekends, but if you do not require this, simply delete the SAT & SUN text from the grey-shaded cells and this will remove the shading. You can log holidays, including half-terms, by entering HOL in the relevant boxes, these will then turn red. Of course, with so much information on one sheet, space is limited, but there is enough room in each box to type a few words to log special reminders or other notes. I have also created a half-year split version which you can print on the front and back of an A4 sheet instead, giving you a lot of extra space for your notes. For those who do not use, or perhaps do not like Excel, and would simply like a printable version, I have also included this is PDF format, though the conditional formatting will not work in this version.
