Important Information on Term and Holiday Dates and Travel

At the beginning and end of term and half-term holidays, it is requested that students arrive and depart on the given dates and at the time of day given in the following table, so that we can ensure their safety and well-being at all times.  

	Departure Time	Arrival / Return Time
First Day of Term		10:00 - 17:00
Last Day of Term	12:00 – 14:00

You will understand that we need to close the school to students between the end of term and start of vacation courses and again after vacation courses and before term starts to clean and redecorate the buildings. We therefore ask parents to arrange flights and travel to fit in with these dates and times. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate or accept responsibility for students who arrive outside these dates and times.
