Calendar Dates for the Academic Year 2012 2013

Calendar Dates for the Academic Year 2017-18

For your convenience we have put together a calendar for the year. We will make every effort to keep the dates as they are and if we do need to make changes we will give you as much notice as possible. We do reserve the right to change any of these dates if circumstances make this necessary. Clubs will not run in certain weeks such as Parents Evening weeks and from time to time the timetable will be interrupted for staff training and in some instances during our special Curriculum Weeks. Thank you for your understanding. Term One
