                                   2011 – 2012 Diary dates
      At Dodworth St Johns we are aware that many family members like to support their
child/children by attending school events. We also realise that this can be difficult due to work,
    and other commitments, so we have planned out the key dates for the school year. We are
confident that all these dates will stand, but as you can appreciate they may have to alter due to
 circumstances beyond our control. If this is the case we will notify everyone as soon as we can.
Please keep this letter to hand for all the dates and visit our website for up to date information.
