Term Dates
We expect all girls to be in school until the stipulated times at the start of Leaves and holidays. At the end of term girls may stay until the morning after the stipulated date if this makes travel arrangements easier. Please let us know if your daughter will be arriving on a very early flight so that we can make arrangements to welcome her.
These dates are published well in advance and we ask all parents to adhere to this timetable.
For more detail please click here for the School Calendar.
* Lunch will be provided for any girl who wishes to depart in the afternoon
