HOLIDAYS: The BESG follows a standard British
three-term year:
September to Christmas
Christmas to Easter
Easter to end of June
Whenever possible, local holidays are also observed and
fitted into the pattern of the school year.
The Study Group understands that it may sometimes be
difficult for parents to arrange their own leave to
coincide with school holidays. If it is necessary for a
child to take a holiday during term time, the Head must
be informed in advance. Parents choosing to remove their
children from the Study Group outside official holidays
should be aware:
a) Of the associated disruption to
their child’s studies
b) That it is unreasonable to expect
the class teacher to provide work during such absence
Remission of fees cannot be given for children taking
holidays in term time.
HOMEWORK:
This is set as a valuable extension of school learning.
Times for homework vary according to age:
Reception and Years 1 & 2 – bring a book home at night
Years 3 & 4 – a variety of work brought home, with
approximately 30 minutes per night
Years 5 & 6 – again a variety of work, with
approximately 1 hour per night
Homework is not usually set at weekends, except in Years
5 & 6
Parents can help by providing a quiet environment for
children to work in, and also by offering their support.
Full details of the policy are on the website or can be
seen in the school office.
