Future Schools Consultations

We are ambitious for our children’s futures and the whole staff team works relentlessly to support parents and children in gaining places at senior schools that will enable them to continue successfully on their journey.

In partnership with you and your child, we are now beginning to consider the best direction to steer your child’s ongoing educational pathway. There is no need for concern and every reason to look forward to the journey ahead. Our aim is to work alongside parents at every stage and offer many information sessions, both in groups and individually. We especially value the importance of individual meetings and planning for each child’s future. No two children are the same and, for this reason, the process of choosing a future school must be both flexible and bespoke.

Thank you for booking your first individual appointment next term, with our Head, Mr Murray, and Mrs Martin, our Head of Future Schools and Pathways. Prior to these first individual meetings we ask you to complete the information below to enable us to prepare effectively for the discussion. This will help us to get a sense of your values, preferences and priorities, which, alongside the academic and pastoral profile of your child, will help guide us at this stage. We look forward to meeting you soon.
