Key information

A few things to note

Dates follow the Hawthorn Tree Primary School academic calendar. We will always give notice of any changes via Famly and the website.

Stretched funding — 48 weeks

Government funded hours can be stretched across 48 weeks of the year rather than the standard 38 term-time weeks. Please contact us for the current stretched funding end date.

Holiday Club booking

Holiday Club runs during most school holiday periods (excluding Christmas and bank holidays). Sessions can be booked by the hour or as a full day. Book early — places fill quickly during busy holiday periods.

Bank holidays — always closed

We are closed on all UK bank holidays regardless of where they fall in the term or holiday schedule. We are also closed for a two-week Christmas break each year.
