Some of these dates looked unusual when we checked them. They're what the school published, but check with the school before you book:
- The school's calendar says "Friday 25th March", but 25 March 2027 is a Thursday. We've gone by the date.
- They don't match Dorset's dates, which this school would normally follow.
