A Consistent Structure for Confident Learning
Apricot Learning follows a clear academic calendar that gives students, families, and partner schools structure and stability throughout the year. Our online provision runs in line with most local authority term dates, with live lessons continuing through each term and regular communication to support every learner's progress.
If you're a parent, carer, school, or local authority looking to align timetables or plan a referral, you can contact our team for advice on start dates or flexible enrolment options.

Flexible Start Dates
As many students join Apricot Learning following referrals or placement changes, we offer flexible start dates throughout the academic year. Our admissions and operations teams work closely with schools and local authorities to ensure every young person can begin learning as soon as possible.
