Conference 2008

Conference to be rescheduled for Autumn term 2008 

It is with regret that I have to inform you that the National Small Schools' Conference planned for 19th and 20th June has had to be postponed until the Autumn term to allow for more publicity to take effect and ensure that the conference is economically viable. 

Please look out for the forthcoming News and Journal which will include details of the new dates and venue.

Tapio School: A twenty-three pupil school near Rovaneimi in Lapland and close to Santa Claus Village.  Sadly this year the school (and its ice rink) closed due to low numbers.

The snows were very late but every cloud  has a white lining and the snows have come just in time this year.
