Key Events: 2020-2021
The current Covid-19 pandemic has caused many events in our normal school to be run in different ways or cancelled. Like everyone else, we look forward to the moment when we can move back more substantially towards normal.
Until then we are only able to publish the following list of key events.
Of course, even this list might need to be amended in the event of developments at national and local level.
We will, of course, keep our community informed of any such developments
