Tips for Assessment Day
For Early Years – Come to a Stay Session so your daughter
is already familiar with the school.– Think of any questions you’d like to ask
our Early Years specialists.– Bring a favourite toy.
For Year 3 and above – Don’t worry if you forget your pencil case;
we’ll give you everything you need.ǁ��5HPHPEHU�ZH�DUH�ORRNLQJ�WR�VHH�ZKDW�
you can do and not catch you out.– You’ll make some new friends and have a
good look around the school that day too.
Have a good breakfast and wear comfortable clothes.
