Arrangements for September 2026

The new term starts on Thursday 3 September 2026 for Year 7 and Year 12 students ONLY, and Sharp Start meetings for Year 11 students, who will be notified of their meeting time. This counts against the attendance figure, so attendance is compulsory. Year 11s will only need to attend school for their meeting. However, this is an excellent opportunity for Year 11 to do some coursework in school. If students are behind with coursework, attendance in school will be compulsory on this day.

All year groups will be expected back in school as usual on Friday 4 September 2026.

School will close at 1:00pm on the day of the Open Evening in September each year. For 2026, this will be on Thursday 17 September (date subject to change). Please note: There will be no school buses on this day.
