Familiarisation days with Quainton Hall

Familiarisation day with Quainton Hall, as pupils swim with sharks

Quainton Hall pupil enjoys the VR experience.

Year 5 pupils from our prep school, Quainton Hall, thoroughly enjoyed their Familiarisation Day visit to the school in November.

It was the very first visit for the pupils and they welcomed the opportunity to see the School and take part in an exciting carousel of activities including kayaking, virtual reality and languages (French and Spanish). Kayaking in the pool was certainly a highlight for many, while swimming with virtual sharks in the VR session was almost certainly the day’s scariest moment! The day concluded with an informative session talking through John Lyon in general and, in particular for parents and guardians, the transition to senior school. These Familiarisation Days provide families with an invaluable opportunity to see John Lyon’s exceptional site, meet with pupils and staff and get a real sense of the School’s community, culture and values in action, all of which are shared by Quainton Hall. We look forward to hosting more opportunities as this in the future. n
