Term Dates


Academic Year 2025/2026

Opening and closing times

For pupils, the school day begins at 8.45am and ends at 3.30pm. 

As the evenings get longer and the days get shorter in the winter, we finish early on a Friday to prepare for Shabbat. So, from October half term until we return to school after the Pesach holidays the school day ends at 1.30pm on Fridays.

Winter/Summer Fridays:

From Friday 18th October 2025 school will close at 1.30pm

From Friday 17th April 2025 school will close at 3.30pm
