Last week we were delighted to see so many of our Year 7 and 12 parents and carers in person at our Introduction evenings. Both Year groups, start a new stage in their journey and we hope that the evening allowed us to share the recipe for success in both of the stages. Whether joining High School or the Sixth Form, engagement from parents and carers is still vital and we know that home and school working together is the best approach to support our young people. This week Year 11 parents and carers join us on Thursday. The evening starts at 6.30, in the Thomas Theatre, with refreshments available from 6.15. As a precautionary measure, we ask that parents and carers conduct a Lateral Flow Test before prior to attending the event.

Our Year 7 Open Evening is Thursday 7 October and our Year 12 Open Evening Thursday 21 October. We welcome parents, carers and their children into our school. There will be four talks through the evening, as well as a chance to tour the site with our prefects and peer mentors. Details of the event will be shared through our feeder primary schools and on the JOIN US section of our website. We are looking forward to opening our doors to our prospective students and their families.

Meanwhile, it has been great to see students embark on trips and visits in the last few weeks. To keep up to date with all our activities, please follow our Twitter feed @KesgraveHigh.
