Academic Calendar

Lessons take place on Saturday mornings from 9:15 am until 12:30 pm. In the current academic year, a number of culture days will also be organised, including Saint Nicholas and King's Day. When setting the academic calendar, we have taken into account the school holidays in Cheshire where possible.

This calendar can be downloaded from the Home page.

Our last lesson of 2022 is on Saturday 9th of July.

 

School Plan

Our school plan is a policy document, in which we reflect on our objectives and priorities. It outlines our policy intentions in the areas of education, staff, quality assurance and other policy areas (strategy, finances, equipment and relationships). The board and the teaching staff have carefully considered the mission and vision of our school.

You can request a copy of our school plan via the Contact Us page or directly from the board.
