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 updated Term Dates for the next academic year 2024/25.

Please check the school website regularly for current information.
