* Amendments: Please note, mistakes can happen! Don't forget to check time/s, date/s and other details if you are in any doubt and for special occasions. Sometimes meetings have to be re-arranged to take into account other events or school and Bank Holidays, for example. In particular, with regard to school holiday dates, INSET days are taken at the discretion of each individual school. The date for children to return is sometimes later than when the school is open for teachers; this is especially likely to happen at the beginning of September and January terms, as well as following a half term week. Alternatively, the children may finish on an earlier date than the teachers and, when a term would otherwise finish on a Monday or Tuesday, the last day for pupils may be the preceding Friday. In addition, there may be differing INSET days for primary and secondary school pupils within as well as across county boundaries. Unfortunately, it is not always possible for us to be informed or be aware of late changes.
