First Day

Term 1 

Term 1 begins on Tuesday 1st September 2026 (Day 2 of the student timetable) students must arrive no later than 8.20am. The school is open from 7am and the canteen serves from 7:45am. When students arrive in school on their first day, they will be directed towards the rear playground while waiting for registration to begin. At 8.20am they should listen for instructions to find their way to their form room and will be escorted by a member of our prefect team. More details about the first day of term will be provided during New Entrants Evening.

All items of clothing and equipment should be named. Students should take care of their bags during the school day. Bags should be carried to each lesson. During break and lunchtimes bags are not allowed in the dining hall so should be placed on the racks outside. These racks become very full of bags that look very similar so students should be certain to collect the correct bag. A distinguishing feature such as a keyring or a patch may be useful.
