Term Dates
Term Dates for Academic Year 2026 - 2027
Please Note
If the building project remains on schedule, Mr Armsby may submit a request to the Trustee Board for three additional moving days at the end of the academic year to facilitate the move into the new building.
We will keep you informed should this happen, although it is currently too early to confirm whether the building will be ready in time. If the request is made and subsequently approved, the final day of the academic year for students will be brought forward to Tuesday 20th July 2027.

Can I take my child on holiday during term time?
Please see the link below for more information on the Government website.
School attendance and absence (GOV.UK)
You can only do this if:
- You make an application to the head teacher in advance (as a parent the child normally lives with)
- here are exceptional circumstances to head teachers is as follows
Head teachers should only authorise leave of absence in exceptional circumstances. If a head teacher grants a leave request, it will be for the head teacher to determine the length of time that the child can be away from school. Leave is unlikely, however, to be granted for the purposes of a family holiday as a norm.
