For each of these days we will offer limited child minding places. Closer to each date we will advise on how to register for the child minding if you require it.

Please note these dates can change from time to time due to unforeseen circumstances and we will endeavour to advise you of any changes at the earliest possible opportunity. Our school Google calendar can be accessed via this link for additional advanced dates -
