Our Year 6 Open Evening is due to take place on 6.00pm on Tuesday 1 October 2024.
The evening is always a busy one and though we organise the parking onto our playground and fields it is always a hectic and jam-packed – although a very worthwhile and tremendously fun evening.
The evening compromises of an opportunity to hear our Headteacher tell you about the school and to determine whether it is the right for your child.
There is also a chance to tour the entire site in order to get a flavour of everything that goes on all over our building – whether it be wonderful aromas in the Food room, startling explosion in Science, mental magic in Maths, or the chance to talk to people from the dim and distant past in History.
There are also plenty of opportunities to dig behind the gloss and excitement of the Open Evening experience to uncover what day-to-day school life is like for students and parents – whether that be through talking with students, parents (from our PTFA), or school governors (many of whom are or have been parents at the school too).
There are up to four Headteacher presentations so if the first one is missed then it is not a problem. Tickets are given out on arrival for the series of sessions, but equally many families get around the school and with so much going on find it is difficult to tear themselves away.
There is also lots of information available in advance – to view our Prospectus click here.
Matt Allman, Headteacher, said: “We always love staging our Open Evening event. It gives us all a chance to reflect and enjoy what we do – but also can help families deicide if we are the right fit for their child. We give a lot to our students and expect both students and families to give equal in return, and though this reaps huge rewards for our students, it is not for everyone. It will be fantastic to meet our potential cohort later this half-term, before getting those that do join us to meet everyone from their Transition Days in Summer 2025.”
