INSET days (no students in school): • 1 September 2020 • 30 November 2020 • 4 January 2021 • 2 July 2021 • 22 July 2021
* From 2015 schools have been able to consider variations to term dates provided they meet the statutory requirements. With this in mind we have taken the decision to return to school one day earlier for the start of the new academic year (Tuesday 1 September 2020) and finish the autumn term one day earlier (Thursday 17 December 2020). This is to ensure a smooth start to the academic year rather than students starting back with a staggered start on Thursday or Friday. The start of the 2020-21 academic year is as follows (subject to the latest government advice):
Tuesday 1 September 2020 - Staff will return to school on Tuesday that will be designated as an INSET day (no students in school). Wednesday 2 September 2020 – students in years 7, 9 and 12 only return to school Thursday 3 September 2020 – all students return to school
2021-22 academic year The following term dates are provisional for the 2021-22 academic year: Term 1: 2 September 2021 to 22 October 2021 Term 2: 1 November 2021 to 23 December 2021 Term 3: 10 January 2022 to 18 February 2022 Term 4: 28 February 2022 to 8 April 2022 Term 5: 25 April 2022 to 27 May 2022 (2 May 2022 is a bank holiday) Term 6: 6 June 2022 to 22 July 2022
