Full School Calendar

Current parents and students at Halcyon can access our full School Calendar by adding it to their Google Calendar. Alternatively, you can find the full list of key dates including community days, residential trips, three-way conferences, information evenings, and other events here.

What are Community Days?

A key part of Halcyon term dates, Community Days offer students an opportunity to spend days dedicated to exploring Fundamental British Values through history and culture. From visiting the London Aquarium to enjoying exhibitions at the Design Museum, our students have delved into history from a variety of perspectives. This is also an opportunity for our students to connect with one another – every grade group will visit a different part of the city, forming lasting memories together.

What are Residential Trips?

Residential Trips encourage our students to build their teamwork skills and nurture their bonds within their grade group. Previous residential trip locations have included the beautiful landscapes of Snowdonia and the Lake District – activities have included hiking and obstacle courses. These week-long trips usually take place at the beginning of the year, and are part of Grade 6’s transition to Halcyon. This partnership between Halcyon and Outward Bound provides students with a holistic and rewarding start to the academic year.
