(An Inset day, originally an acronym for IN-SErvice Training day, is one of a series of five days in most English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish schools on which school sessions are not run, and the pupils do not attend school, but the staff are required to attend for training or to complete administrative tasks. Teachers and other staff can catch up with work and also have the opportunity to train for any new technology or new ways of doing things within the school).
