Arrangements for End of Term – December 2025

School will close for the end of term at 1:00pm on Friday 19 December.  

The restaurant will operate the normal break time service. However, there will be no opportunity to purchase food after break. Students entitled to Free School Meals may make use of their allocation at break time. 

School buses will operate as normal on the morning of the last day of term.  Please note, there are no school buses operating at the end of school on 19 December, so anyone travelling via a school bus will need to make alternative arrangements for the journey home.  

There is no facility for any student to be supervised at school after 1:00pm, so all students will need to leave the school site after dismissal. Please ensure that you have made suitable arrangements for your child if they do take the school bus.  

School reopens for staff and students on Monday 5 January 2026.
