Notes
- Enrolment – To ensure the safe enrolment of 170+ new and returning learners in September, we spread arrivals over several days. Learners will be informed of their scheduled arrival date/time at the end of the previous academic year.
- Half term / travel day* – There will be scheduled activities for Day learners ONLY. Day learners will arrive and leave at their usual times; residential learners should leave by 1pm.
- Term end travel day** – Residential learners should leave by 1pm. Day learners are not due in on the term end travel days.
- Residential learners return – These are for residential learners. We ask that learners return between 2pm and 9pm.
