OPEN DAY<br />
DIARY<br />
<strong>2021</strong><br />
Attending an open day is an<br />
important part of choosing<br />
your child’s school. It is your<br />
chance to get a feel for the<br />
school, inspect the facilities<br />
<strong>and</strong> chat with pupils <strong>and</strong><br />
staff. It’s useful to visit more<br />
than one school, even if you<br />
think you have your heart<br />
set on one in particular,<br />
so you can compare <strong>and</strong><br />
contrast. Make sure you<br />
book your spot today! Here<br />
we list what’s going on this<br />
Autumn...<br />
