Accordion Pages
Accordion Pages are a way of presenting multiple pages as expandable sections within a single parent page. The benefit of this is that each section can then contain text/images/files/links/videos as it is actually a fully managed page.
In the example below we have included 4 separate pages; you can click each section title to expand and see the page contents. We have used curriculum information here, but you could just as easily have subjects/classes or resources/vacancies, or whatever fits your needs.
Click the section titles below to expand and contract them.

Your child will take the tests in May. You can ask the school for the test results.
