Term Dates
At Brakenhale we teach students over a two week timetable, across week A and week B.
The first week starting in September is week A, alternating with week B for the rest of the year, not including school holidays. (If the last week before half term is a week A then the week we return to school after half term will be week B).
Please find below our Term Dates.
Please check the school website regularly for current information.
