As a community school, we follow the local authority's set patterns for school years. The following are patterns for the next few years but the finalised pattern speific to Carter's is finalised in the Autumn Term of each year, usually around November. The only difference is the timing of the 5 INSET days which we plan to suit the training and development needs of our school.
