We have taken the decision to return to school one day earlier for the start of the new academic year (Wednesday 1 September 2021) and finish the autumn term one day earlier (22 December 2021). This is to ensure a smooth start to the year with the staggered start on 1 September and all students back for Thursday and Friday, and as the Christmas holiday is later next year it allows school to break up one day earlier.
INSET days:
Monday 27 September 2021 Friday 3 December 2021 Wednesday 22 December 2021 Monday 4 July 2022 Friday 22 July 2022
