Open Evenings and Mornings are an opportunity to investigate which secondary school will be best for your child. If your child is in Year 5 or 6, you will probably already be thinking about this. Attending an open event will allow you to find out about the school’s results, pastoral care and extra-curricular activities. You will be able to chat to staff and current students, which helps to give you a feel for the place. Visiting a few schools can help you establish which ones have the right feel and that is why open evenings are so very useful.
Open Events offer the opportunity to get a feel for local secondary schools.
In Trafford, we have a selective grammar school system (more information about entrance exams here). For various reasons, this means that many children travel outside the area for secondary school, so I have included schools which are commonly attended by children from Urmston and Stretford. N.B. The grammar schools tend to run their open evenings in the summer term, which is why there are no grammar school open evenings listed below.
