We hope to keep you informed of important dates throughout the school year. Please confirm with your child's teacher or the school secretary that an event is going ahead as planned - changes in dates and times inevitably occur and these may not necessarily be reflected on the website.

*INSET/ Non-contact days for teachers

Over a school year, pupils are required to attend for 190 days/380 sessions. In total, teachers may be required to be available for work on up to 195 days, with the additional days specified by individual schools as non-contact days. Schools may also require teachers to work additional hours before or after school sessions, as an alternative to full non-contact days, provided that any teacher is not required to work in aggregate more than 1,265 hours during a school year. Schools may therefore choose to require teachers to make up the full equivalent of the 5 non-contact days wholly through additional hours, or use a mixture of additional hours and non-contact days.
