Hon. Gavin Williamson MP (Secretary or State for Education), recently told parliament that, “There are currently no plans to make up class time lost during the lockdown by requiring pupils to return early from their holidays in August.”*** **All the Enquire Learning Trust schools** will close as usual for the summer holidays. This includes our child care provision for vulnerable pupils and the children of key workers. **This school will close on Friday 17th July**. This will allow essential works to take place in school and key preparations to be made to ensure a successful start to the new school year for all children. **The new school year will begin on Thursday 3rd September.** We will keep this under review should we receive further instructions from the Department of Education.
