There will be talks by the Principal and Deputies at 9:50am and 10:50am on both Wednesday and Thursday morning. These morning events provide the opportunity for parents to visit lessons and see the school in action. They are generally quieter than the Thursday evening event.
On Thursday evening, there will be the opportunity to visit departments and talk to teachers. The Principal's talks are at 6.00pm; 6:50pm and 7:40pm; space in the talks is limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis, using the sticker system described below.
- Different coloured stickers will be given to parents on arrival at Graveney which will indicate the time of the talk they will be attending. When all the stickers have been distributed, the talk has reached maximum capacity; at this point no further admissions are allowed for health & safety.
- The Principal’s final talk starts at 7.40pm, there will be no further tours of the school following this talk. In order to avoid disappointment, please arrive at least half an hour prior to this final talk if you wish to have a tour of the school.
