NOTES  
Autumn Term 2013/14 is likely to begin on Tuesday 27 August 2013 - although if OFQUAL/JCQ determine a ‘draw forward’ of AS/A2/GCSE results’ release dates in summer 2013 and thereafter by one week from their ‘historic positioning’ (which they have ‘consulted about’), then Autumn Term 2013 would alternatively start on Monday 20 August 2013. The College will continue to lobby against this change. A final decision will be made by Spring 2012.
August Bank Holiday 2013 is on Monday 26 August
