During the Summer term each year our Headteacher, Mr O’Neil, meets with the parents of all children in Year 1, to discuss the various options ahead.
Many parents want their child to sit entrance examinations for the three Harpur Trust Schools for entry in Year 3. Other parents may have another school in mind, choosing one of the local non-selective independent schools or a state primary.
Whatever their aspirations, the School is here to advise and support parents
