Dear Year 6 parents
A reminder that Secondary schools are starting to have their open days/mornings so that you can make an informed decision for your child come October. The normal application timeline involves opening at the beginning of September and closing at the end of October, for 2020 places. The website link is below but still currently has the 2019 dates on it . . . . but the information is still useful.
