Summer holidaysNot published—Not yet published—

"First day off" and "Last day off" include weekends, bank holidays and any INSET or closure days next to the holiday, so they show when pupils are off.

The school's page doesn't give a last day for the summer term, so we haven't shown one.

INSET days and other closures

Schools can add or move INSET days during the year. Always check the school's latest letters.

Note: Years 7 and 12 start on 3 September; the whole school on 4 September. The summer term is listed as ending on 22 July, which is also a staff development day, so we have not listed a last pupil day.
