The
GRANGE SCHOOL Open Evening
Headlines
For the first time we hosted Open Evening in the new building and it proved to be a great venue for just such an occasion! The evening began in a packed hall where I delivered the opening address before inviting prospective parents and their children to visit the faculties in their respective wings of the school. Staff had been busy in preparation for the event and school looked very smart. There was a lot to see and to talk about as every aspect of the school’s operation was on display. I am very grateful for the time parents from the School Forum and former students of The Grange had given to attend the evening and present their perspective of life at school.
Staff from the school kitchen prepared samples of typical school meals, which went down a treat, especially the cheese flan it seemed!
This of course is a one-off event but parents who were unable to attend, or who would like to visit again, are very welcome to contact school to make arrangements. I look forward to welcoming our next cohort of Y7 in 2014.
Sixth Form Partnership For over 12 months now we have been collaborating with Cronton College to plan for the reintroduction of post-16 provision at The Grange. We are able to offer exclusively to our current Y11 two courses of study at The Grange campus from September 2014. Both courses are Level 3 BTEC Extended Diplomas, equivalent to three A levels and studied over two years. The courses are Computing and IT and Business. There was a great deal of interest at the Post-16 evening and further details will follow.
The atmosphere was buzzing with so many hands-on activities organised throughout the faculties, which clearly captured the imagination of our visitors, both young and slightly older!
