Thank you to those parents who have provided us with feedback regarding the XP Calendar. I have looked through parents comments and have made some slight changes to our final version of the 2021/22 Academic Calendar.
Carcroft staff will work the same number of days as outlined on the Local Authority Calendar. However, you will see that we will start our term, 1 day earlier in-line with the XP Schools. Then, in July, we will continue our term for a further 4 days once the XP Schools have broken up for Summer.
I would like to thank parents for their understanding in terms of the rationale behind us proposing that we would like our staff to attend the 5 additional INSET days alongside XP Staff, as we truly believe these days will be essential in terms of moving our school forward.
The calendar is never going to be straight forward, as everyone’s context is different. However, I do believe that this calendar is going to be a really good fit for us as a school next year. Staff will have 5 additional days to improve the education in which they provide to your children, whilst aligning the dates with the local authority calendar for 2021/22.
We will then fully align our calendar with the XP Trust from September 2022, but there will be more to come on this in the Autumn Term so that you can plan for the following academic year.
In the meantime, if there are any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me via email on [email protected].
Please can I ask parents to refrain from commenting on the post over the weekend period, in order to allow school staff a little bit of a respite after a busy first week back.
Thank you,
Miss Laing
