  • Term Dates

    We publish our term dates well in advance to help families plan holidays, childcare, and appointments. Please note that pupils are expected to attend school during term time, and holidays should only be booked during designated school holiday periods.

    Please Note: Term Dates are set by Equinox Learning Trust and do not follow West Berkshire Term Dates.
