Sorcerers' diploma

This year up to 15 apprentices will also be taught astrology, magic, the history of magic, and meditation.

If they complete six terms successfully they will be awarded a sorcerers' diploma.

The school director, Andreas Starchel, who's also known as Dakaneth, said the school's aim was to teach about the history of witchcraft.

Nature studies and Celtic and druidic teachings are also likely to feature strongly, but the Harry Potter books are not thought to be on the school's list of recommended reading.
