HOLMEWOOD HOUSE SCHOOL

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to what promises to be an exciting Summer Term!

With staff attending INSET on Monday 17th, we look forward to welcoming the children back on Tuesday
18th.
Please note that OWLS, JBs and Prep will all resume from 18 th April. Gymnastics for Prep students also
returns on 18th April and Swim School resumes Friday 21st April. All other after school clubs start the
week beginning 24th April and information will be shared regarding this provision in the first week back.

Further arrangements and timings for the key events next week (17th April – 23rd April) are below.

Please note, further to prior correspondence from Chris Murray, the calendar is now available online via
the portal, rather than as a paper copy. The move to an online calendar is a greener option for the school
and is has the benefit of not going out of date as it can be updated in real time. You can sync school event
details to your own online calendar via your homepage following the ‘Subscribe & Exports’ button on the
top of the page.
In addition to the information available on the portal, and for your ease of access, the provision of this
weekly routine will continue to be sent to you weekly, on Fridays.

Best wishes,

Nell Bond
Acting Deputy Head

Nursery & Pre-Nursery
