Primary pupils experience a taste of high school life

Thank you to everyone who attended our Year 5 and 6 Open Evening last night, Thursday 9th October.

The event offered parents, carers and their children an opportunity to tour the school and visit its various subject areas – providing prospective pupils with a full flavour of what the school has to offer.

From experiments in Science to trying different instruments in the music department, each faculty delivered hands-on activities and displays of student work to a steady stream of visitors throughout the evening.

Any prospective parents/carers and their children who were unable to attend the open evening are encouraged to contact Zoie Wiseman, Head of Year 7, at wisemanz@wscampus.net or via phone on 01964 613133 to arrange a visit or to obtain further information about the school.

The application deadline for all secondary school places within the East Riding is Friday, 31st October. Parents and carers of current Year 6 pupils should have received detailed information directly from East Riding of Yorkshire Council regarding the high school application process and the steps required to ensure their child secures a place.

Enrolment is not automatic and all high school places must be applied for. Applications can be made online using the ERYC Citizen Portal: https://emsonline.eastriding.gov.uk/CitizenPortal_LIVE/en 

General information about the school admissions process is available from the ERYC School Admissions Team by phone on 01482 392100 or via email at schooladmissions@eastriding.gov.uk
