The calendar also shows the school operating on a three-term year and gives term start/end dates for 2025/26 and planned re‑opening dates for the 2026/27 year.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- No published boarding fee amounts or a separate boarding fee schedule are available in the school's public materials for 2026/27 or 2025/26.
