*For this year only, there is an additional national holiday for the Queen’s Jubilee, and therefore school is open for students for 189 days during the academic year, rather than the usual 190 days. As this additional national holiday is during our May half-term holiday, Friday 22nd October has been allocated as the extra holiday. School is open for staff for those 189 days plus 5 additional INSET days during the academic year. All staff work the 5 INSET days, including those staff who are employed on a part-time contract.

  • Opening a bank account
A parent has noted that it is advisable to open a bank account now in your child’s name, if they don’t have one. This is because it is easier to open an account before they turn 18 when formal ID like a Driving Licence or Passport has to be seen. Having a bank account in your child’s name comes in handy if you are applying for Direct Payments or Bursary Payments when your child is in 6th form.
