DAPA Calendar
The DAPA year is based on three twelve week terms. There is a half term break which coincides with the Kent School holiday.
Our terms always begin on Mondays and end on Saturdays. Please refer to the schedule of Term Dates.
When there are Bank Holidays which occur during term time - there will be no classes on those days, but pupils who miss their lesson are invited to join any other class being given that week.
