Shadow Days - Getting to Know your child


Boy in Science - smallWe invite all Year 1 to Year 6 applicants to meet our teachers and spend a typical school day with other age appropriate children. During this visit your child will be given a 'buddy,' another member of the class, who will ensure they are making new friends and staying involved in classroom activities. In order for children to feel comfortable about their visit, we will prepare some information to help familiarize them with their host class.  

The typical point of entry is at our Nursery level.  Availability in other year groups will be based upon vacant spaces and current students re-enrolling for the following year. Decision letters will be mailed in early March for entry into Years 1 - 6. Rolling admissions will continue in any year groups with spaces remaining thereafter.
