AN INVITATION TO YEAR 6 OPEN EVENING


On Monday 4th October 2021, we will be welcoming Year 6 pupils to our Open Evening, accompanied by a parent/carer. COVID-19 restrictions mean that we need to operate a different format to our usual Open Evening programme. Nevertheless, we are looking forward to giving you a taste of life at Prince Henry’s, and assisting you in deciding the high school to which you wish your child to transfer in September 2022. You can find the programme here and the virtual introductions from our Executive Headteacher and Year 7 here.

As we are sure you will understand, this year we need to limit the number of people in the building during the evening, in order to minimise risk to visitors, students and staff. This includes:

  • Only admitting pupils who are currently in Year 6
  • Limiting attendance to one parent/carer per pupil only, wherever possible. We are also unable to accommodate younger siblings, as a general rule.
  • Asking all visitors to limit their visit to a maximum of one hour
  • Allocating specific arrival times for different schools, as follows:

6.00pm

All Saints CE, Ashfield, Askwith

6.45pm

Pool CE, St Joseph’s

6.15pm

Adel, Adel St John Baptist, Bramhope

7.00pm

Whartons, Westgate

6.30pm

Menston

7.15pm

All other schools

In addition, we ask that all visitors:

  • use hand sanitiser on arrival and throughout the visit
  • wear a face covering whilst in school (adults only)
  • are mindful of other visitors when moving around the building
  • respect social distance, wherever possible, when speaking to our staff and students

Please be aware that we may ask you to wait until there is sufficient capacity in the building, if necessary. Please do not come into school if, on the day, you / your child is displaying symptoms of Coronavirus, or has tested positive for Coronavirus, or has been instructed to self-isolate.

During your self-guided tour of the school, you will be able to see something of what goes on in the different areas of the curriculum, watch demonstrations of practical activities, view students’ work and talk to staff and some students.

We have made a short video introduction to the school and a video with our Year 7 Students, talking about joining Prince Henry's, which can be accessed here. Please note that there will not be a live presentation on the evening.
