HALF TERM

Half term is of one-week duration as agreed between BHASVIC and Brighton Metropolitan College and ourselves. Whilst we endeavour to have our term dates as close as possible to schools we have in this case been unable to do so. The autumn term is a crucial period for our students in helping them to make the transition from school, engage with their studies and in managing a very intensive workload throughout the year. Holiday taken during this period will not be authorised. Please note there are also a few discrepancies between Christmas and Easter holiday dates compared to that of schools.
