2026 Pupil Free Days 

The 2026 student free days have been determined to reflect the identified priorities of Catholic Education Sandhurst Limited (CESL) and to build on the benefits we have enjoyed as a system in 2025. They will ensure that CESL staff have appropriate time for professional learning and professional duties, and to ensure the ongoing success of Magnify Sandhurst, now also identify time for the induction of new staff members.   

Please note: two additional Pupil Free Days are yet to be determined.
