If your child is in Year 5 or 6, you will probably be thinking about which secondary school will be best. There is a lot to take into account: results, pastoral care, friendship groups and extra-curricular activities are just a few. Visiting a few schools can help you establish which ones have the right feel and that is why open evenings are so very useful.

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.
