Since you have had unprotected sex (even though accidentally because of a broken condom) there is a chance you could be pregnant, whatever part of your menstrual cycle you were in but the chances are much higher midway between your periods when you were ovulating.
The fact that you are having a discharge does not indicate that you are pregnant (but neither does it mean that you aren't)
You need to take a pregnancy test to be sure - there is no other way to tell. If you can bear to wait - take a shop bought test as soon as you have missed your next period. They are usually bought in twin-packs so take the next test 3 - 5 days later if your period is still overdue. You can buy these tests from any chemist and large supermarket. Go for the most expensive one possible. If you can't afford a test or can't wait until your next period you will need to go to your G.P or school/college health service. You can also get tested at an NHS sexual health clinic. Find one near you on the NHS choices website or visit your local council's home page and follow the health/social care links. Or google "sexual health clinics" + your local area. Sexual health clinics and G.P's will also be able to test you for STD's too.
If you experience a split condom ever again - get some emergency contraception. The morning after pill can be taken up to 72 hours later - available from G.P's, many chemists, sexual health clinics, walk-in centres, minor injury units and (as a last resort) your nearest A&E There will always be some provision - even in the festive season. (NHS Choices website can normally tell you). The coil can be inserted up to 5 days later by a G.P or at a sexual health clinic.
All these services are free in the UK and fully confidential
