Term Dates 2024 - 2025

Our school and Trust leaders have looked carefully at the Kent schools’ calendar and agreed term dates and have decided in the next academic year to adopt a 2-week October Half Term holiday.

The rationale for this decision is to break up the learning in terms 1 and 2 which would have otherwise presented two long terms. We recognise that some of our youngest learners have struggled during September and October with health and wellbeing and this has impacted on our attendance.

In an attempt to mitigate this, we are trialling the 2 week half term holiday. Trustees and Governors have given this their full support in the interest of staff and children’s wellbeing. We have also spoken with colleagues in other schools and Trusts who have adopted this model and have listened carefully to their feedback.
