October Two-Week Half Term

In line with local secondary schools and our Attendance Procedures, we provide a two-week half term in October.


This arrangement:

  • Allows families greater flexibility for holidays.

  • Reduces the need for term-time absences.

  • Avoids the disruption of “half-weeks” that can affect attendance and continuity of learning.
