Term Dates

The school year at Concord runs from early September to late June. There are three terms each year, autumn term, spring term and summer term. Each term has a half-term break.

 

Students can stay at College for half-terms and students in F5 and Sixth Form can stay for the Easter holiday. College is closed to all students in the Christmas and Summer holidays.

 

We are currently in Summer Term 2026.
