If the term dates you require are not available, the dates for that academic year may not have been agreed by the Governing Board yet.
As a Lancashire County Council maintained nursery school, Newtown must follow the holiday and term dates guidance from Lancashire Council and then have 5 additional staff training days to allocate for the year. Therefore, you can utilise the LCC term dates as a general guide should the full year's dates not be available yet.
