* dates that differ from DCC’s published term dates. We have taken the decision to return to school one day earlier for the start of the new academic year (Wednesday 1 September 2021) and finish the autumn term one day earlier (22 December 2021). This is to ensure a smooth start to the year with the staggered start on 1 September and all students back for Thursday and Friday, and as the Christmas holiday is later next year it allows school to break up one day earlier.
