Usually we would advise parents/carers of the diary dates for the whole session in August. However, under the current guidance, we will only be able to advise of diary dates a term at a time.
At present, we are unable to hold whole-school assemblies. Dates for Showcase and topic assemblies will be later in the year if and when these are allowed to occur.
