Worth noting
Dates from the school's 'Term Dates 2026-2027' PDF, linked from https://www.riverschool.co.uk/term-dates-1. The PDF publishes half terms as a last-day / back-at-school pair, so each term is recorded as two published blocks rather than inventing the holiday span. Autumn term ends 15 Dec at 6pm (Whole School Celebration 4:30pm); Spring and Summer terms end at midday per the website listing.
