The funeral of Queen Elizabeth will be taking place on Monday 19^th September. This day has been made a Bank Holiday, and as such the academy will be closed for the day. This will allow many people across the country to reflect on the life of her Majesty, and to have time to do this in whatever manner works best for them. We will reopen on Tuesday 20^th September.  Sending our thoughts and best wishes to the royal family at this difficult time.
