Dear Parent / Carer
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee 2022
This year the Queen is celebrating her Platinum Jubilee and to recognise and celebrate this the Government has announced that there will be an additional
bank holiday. The late May bank holiday will be moved to Thursday 2 June
2022 and an additional Jubilee bank holiday will be on Friday 3 June 2022.
As the additional bank holiday falls within the half term holiday, legislation has been passed to allow schools to benefit from an additional day’s holiday. Our Trust has, in liaison with the schools of the Morpeth Partnership, decided to take this additional day at the end of the summer term.
Therefore, I am writing to inform you that the last day of the summer term for all our Trust schools: The King Edward VI School, Chantry, Dr Thomlinson and Newminster Middle Schools, Abbeyfields, Harbottle, Stobhillgate and Thropton First Schools will be Thursday 21 July with the summer holiday beginning on Friday 22 July.
Yours sincerely
Simon Taylor
CEO
