Half-Term Breaks

As individual terms at Bartholomews are usually shorter than at most traditional schools, and indeed they vary from one student to another, our policy with regards to half-term breaks differs according to circumstances. Whilst individuals may choose otherwise, in general we encourage half-term breaks in terms of twelve weeks or more, but we discourage them in terms of eleven weeks or less.

Additionally, students are discouraged from taking half-term breaks in terms in which they are scheduled subsequently to take public examinations. The College itself normally remains staffed over half-terms.

Bank Holidays

The College is normally closed on Bank Holidays except for the two in May, which are treated as normal working days, owing to the imminence of public examinations.
