Published notes for 2027/28:
  • Half terms for 2027-28 are published in words, not full date ranges: 'Two weeks beginning Monday 25 October', 'Week beginning Monday 15 February' and 'Week beginning Monday 29 May'. End dates here follow the Monday-to-Sunday span the school uses for its 2026-27 half terms.
  • The school's published 'Week beginning Monday 15 February' does not match the 2028 calendar: 15 February 2028 is a Tuesday. The start date is recorded as published; treat that week with caution until the school firms it up.
  • Michaelmas 2027: new teacher induction days Tuesday 31 August and Wednesday 1 September; staff INSET days Thursday 2 and Friday 3 September; New Pupil Induction Day Friday 3 September; New Pupil Welcome Service Sunday 5 September; term starts Monday 6 September at 08:25; Prizegiving Friday 10 September; staff INSET day Friday 22 October; end of term Wednesday 15 December at 16:00.
  • Lent 2028: staff INSET day Wednesday 5 January; U5 and U6 mocks begin Wednesday 5 January; term starts Thursday 6 January; end of term Wednesday 29 March at 16:00.
  • Trinity 2028: staff INSET day Monday 5 June; end of term Friday 7 July at 12:00.
