The College Day

To help us transition smoothly into our new calendar, we are making a small adjustment to lesson lengths while keeping the start and finish times of the day exactly the same.

From Monday 26 January 2026 to July 2026

The college day starts and ends at the current times
Sessions 1, 2 and 3 will each be extended by five minutes
This adds 15 minutes of teaching per day
The change supports a slightly earlier finish to the academic year

Timings of the day

Session 1: 09:15 - 10:35
Break: 10:35 - 10:45
Session 2: 10:45 - 12:05
Break: 12:05 - 12:15
Session 3: 12:15 - 13:35
Lunch: 13:35 - 14:20
Session 4: 14:20 - 15:35

End of year dates

Students finish: Friday the 10th of July 2026
Teachers finish: Monday the 13th of July 2026, with this day disaggregated for mandatory training and compliance updates

From September 2026

From September 2026, the college will move to new term dates and a revised timetable structure designed to:

Increase teaching time before students sit exams
Reduce time in college after exams conclude
Better support students at enrolment and on A-level results day
Introduce a two-week October half term to support wellbeing and reduce seasonal illness
