Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches . There is a village nearby, though non magical people are generally not aware of the school's existence- they believe the Castle to be the ruins of Overblow Castle. There are two terms a year, the winter term (September- January) and the summer term (March- July) with a month's holiday between terms.

1. The fourth season of The Vampire Diaries began airing in the United States in fall 2012. It was announced on May 3, 2012 that the show was renewed for another season.
2. It follows the adventures of Mildred Hubble, (Georgina Sherrington) a witch.

The castle is located atop a mountain, surrounded by forest. Nearby locations include Mistletoe Wood, Eel Pond, Lacewing Bridge and Glowworm Copse. Miss Cackle talks about her mother, Madlevana Cackle: “There was a time, when I was a girl, when witches were persecuted, reviled, and burned at the stake. The Castle was built by a Saxon warlord, then knocked down by a Norman conquerer, and rebuilt by the evil Baron Overblow, then burnt by serfs (peasants). Baron Overblow knew he was no match for Lucy Fairweather.

In his desperation he hired a cunning sorceress, Harriet Hogweed. Hogweed was defeated by Lucy Fairweather in “the greatest battle this castle has ever seen”. As a result, every year it rains for a whole week, and on the last night there is a big storm, during which Sir Walter walks the corridors looking for revenge.

It would seem that the school is passed down through the women of the Cackle family, as Agatha Cackle says that Miss Cackle . Agatha then pretended to be her sister and ran the school as Headmistress, until Mildred realised she was an imposter and rescued Miss Cackle. The prospective students are also given a tour of the school and meet the staff.

New students are allocated their bedrooms, and special positions such as head of year are announced. The first few weeks of term are devoted to learning to fly on a broomstick, and all first years must pass the Broomstick Aptitude Test, or they must leave. The cats weren’t for any practical purpose except to keep tradition going, some schools present owls instead, it’s a matter of taste. Traditionally Cackle’s will put on a show, such as a play or broomstick flying display. The Students and staff dress in their best robes and hats for Halloween, and all wear their hair out. At Christmas time, the school sometimes puts on a pantomime such as Cinderella. In the Summer term, the Academy celebrates Miss Cackle’s Birthday, which involves performances and speeches, and is considered the most boring event of the year.

Also in the summer term is Founder’s Day, a celebration of “great great great great great great great granny” Hermione Cackle, the School’s founder. The the founder's day feast is held that evening. This was not really to be used, as they already had paperback editions for the classroom, but like the cats it was another piece of tradition. At the end of each year, all the students sit exams and then recive their final results for the year.

There is also a yearly prize- giving. At the end of the fifth and final year, students sit the exams for the W.

H. C (Witches' Higher Certificate), and most pupils were awarded the certificate. In the third season of the 1. TV series, this is changed to four years for some reason; possibly they wanted it to be Mildred's second last year so she could become head girl at the end of the series. It is possible, however, that the fifth year is an elective year, like the British Sixth Form system, and that there was no pupils for the following fifth year - hence why the Head and Deputy Head Girls were selected from the lower year. Long Island Medium Season 1 Episode Guide. The telemovie has 1. In The New Worst Witch, The Wishing Well episode has around 4.

The 2. 01. 7 TV series has a similar number of students also, despite having a much larger castle. Watch The Help Online on this page. This charter is far larger than the witches code and likely has more rules. There are exactly 9. Mildred's time at Cackle's, and an 1. Rules, Rules, Rules in the New Worst Witch. See the individual page for a list of rules.

It is mentioned in the books and appears in both the 1. TV series. Renamed 'Book of Spells' in the 2. There appears to be one volume for each year level. A black cardigan is sometimes worn with both the winter and summer uniform. In the books, Summer uniform consists of a black summer dress (was black- and- grey- checked, it was changed in Mildred's second year). The New Worst Witch shows blue sash as year 1, and red and yellow sashes are also seen.

The 1. 98. 6 film shows three sash colours at the cat presentation assembly, green as year one, then yellow then red. Bats roost in some of the bedrooms. Each pupil has the same type of room: very simple, with a wardrobe, iron bedstead, table and chair. There is a picture rail along the bare walls from which hangs a sampler embroiderd with a quotation from the book of spells. In Mildred's fourth year, glass is fitted in the windows, with bat- flaps so that the bats can get in and out.

Even though the events of season three are extremely serious, there are still some great moments of comedy in this season. Do you have a favorite?

The bedrooms are located above the main floor of the castle, but below the upper floors where the teacher's rooms are. Watch Junior Megavideo. The 2. 01. 7 TV Series used the Burg Hohenzollern in Germany. Supposedly Algernon and Helibore had been there when the castle was used as a meeting place for wizards, yet Hermione Cackle, the founder, was Miss Cackle's great great great great great grandmother, making the Academy likely 3. This is only in the TV series; the books never state how old Cackle's is. Possibly Cackle's started somewhere else and then moved to the castle later, or maybe the the wizards used it during school holidays.

The 1. 98. 6 feature did not stick to that, but used an established school, one with an elderly building, a low hill with few trees. The 1. 99. 8 TV series tried to be closer. The New Worst Witch sometimes looks like the 1. TV series and sometimes more an ancient castle converted to stately home in a woodland setting.
