What Do I Need To Know? What support is in place for my child’s transition? How is the curriculum organised? How will I know if my child is on target or otherwise? What are the school’s daily expectations? What are the extra curricular options? Who do I contact in school?

I attended last night and it was really impressive (it was actually quite difficult to drag the kids home!).  I was talking to numerous parents who had brought their children, who are not necessarily in the catchment area or living on the fringe.  Several of them were desperate to get their children into the school but they fear that they have no chance and know that it is already heavily oversubscribed (they still attended though in the hope that they would get in).

Really friendly pupils and staff. Lovely feel to the school. (Chesham Primary) Fantastic. Very impressed with the school, especially the children - so polite and calm and such friendly staff. (Our Lady of Lourdes) Stunning classrooms and very nice, pleasant pupils. (Old Hall Primary) Lovely tour by the two girls and excellent building, friendly staff and super atmosphere. (Christ Church Ainsworth) Very, very impressed by the work. (Chantlers Primary) Very friendly teachers and students. Lovely feel to the school. (Christ Church Ainsworth) Fantastic, airy, bright modern school! Wonderful guides very helpful. (Christ Church Ainsworth) Excellent tour. Girls were very well informed and well mannered, staff very helpful. (Christ Church Walshaw)
