Record-Breaking Open Evening

Our recent Open Evening saw the highest attendance to date, with a large number of prospective students, parents, and members of the community joining us despite the rainy weather. The event provided an opportunity for visitors to explore the school, meet with staff, and experience firsthand what our institution has to offer.

Departments across the school showcased a variety of engaging activities designed to introduce prospective students and their families to different subjects. From hands-on experiments to interactive displays, each subject area offered an insightful glimpse into the curriculum, sparking interest and excitement among attendees.

Our students acted as outstanding ambassadors throughout the evening. Whether leading tours, demonstrating skills in their subjects, or providing assistance to staff and visitors, they represented the school with confidence and professionalism.

Feedback from visitors was overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on the quality of the school’s facilities, the calm and welcoming environment, and the well-balanced curriculum on offer. Both staff and students were praised for their knowledge and approachability, contributing to the overall success of the event.

Mr McManus, Principal, remarked, “We are delighted by the strong turnout, particularly given the challenging weather. It was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the wide range of opportunities available here, and we were pleased with the level of engagement from all who attended.”

We extend our thanks to everyone who participated in and supported the evening, and we look forward to welcoming our future students and parents.
