Term Dates 2026 - 2027

Due to the uncertainty of the building works and the lack of a finishing date, there may be up to 2 days at the start of the school year when the school has to be closed to pupils and learning will be set remotely. It may be that pupils will be asked in at different times over this period to support this orientation. We will update you as soon as we can, but for the purposes of planning holidays etc, everyone needs to be ready for school to start on Thursday 3rd September 2026.

Details of any later starts or earlier finishes, for example, after Year 6 Open Evening, will be shared at the start of the school year.
