Term dates Summer term 2014
To all Parents, Guardians & Pupils,
Very Important Message.
This message was issued on 6th March 2014 and is re-issued to ensure you all know that lessons will be taking place this coming Saturday 24th May 2014.
I am writing to let you know of two term date changes in the Summer Term. We had planned for two Saturdays off during the May Bank Holiday ie: 24th May & 31st May,
so that we finished on Saturday 12th July. However, with the Globe Theatre confirming earlier this week that we can begin rehearsals for our Summer Show on the 12th July, our last Saturday at Lipson will now be the 5th July. The Thursday 10th July and Friday 11th July sessions will continue as normal. However, the Saturday before the Spring Bank Holiday Monday ie:Saturday – 24th May – we will now be running our normal Saturday sessions (week 5). The Summer Term will still begin on Saturday 26th April. In case you ask, we did not start on the 19th April as it is Easter weekend and many of you informed us that you would be away on holiday.
