TERM DATES
Academic Year 2025-26
Holidays in term time
The college does not authorise holidays in term time, as even short breaks can significantly disrupt learning, affect progress, and undermine future outcomes.
This policy applies from the point of enrolment. Students and their parents/carers are asked to plan holidays outside the published term dates.
