End of Term Arrangements

Although there are still a few weeks left I thought that it would be useful to give you advance notice of our end of term arrangements.

 The last day of term is Friday 27^th March 2026.  School will finish at approximately 12 noon on this day. After registration Years 8 and 10 will attend the end of term Service at St John’s Cathedral. They will then return to school for a break followed by a PSHE lesson.    Years 7 and 9 will complete a PSHE session followed by the Easter Service at St John’s Cathedral.  Years 7 and 9 may then either be collected from the Cathedral or make their own way home as normal. Years 8 and 10 will leave from the school site as normal.

 You are welcome to join us for the ‘Stations of the Cross’ service which will start at either 9.15am or 10.50am.  This will be a delightful spiritual end to the successful term of learning and a welcome moment of preparation/reflection as we approach Easter.

 Year 11 students will have their own reflective ‘Stations of the Cross’ on Thursday 26^th March 2026 here at School. On Friday 27^th March 2026 all the Year 11 students will be sitting their GCSE Maths mock examination whilst other year groups attend the Church Service.   This will finish at approximately 11.30am and students will leave from the school site.

 The school will re-open on Monday 13^th April 2026 as normal (Week A).  Students must ensure that they are fully compliant with the school’s Uniform Policy.
