Dear Parent
Turton School – Open Evening
We are delighted that you are interested in what Turton has to offer and that we are able to provide an opportunity for you to visit the school in person this year, albeit on a limited capacity basis.
As we did last year, this year we have a wonderful virtual open event available on our website. Please visit https://www.turton.uk.com/openday to hear our speeches and explore the school and all the different subjects virtually, and at your leisure.
During these Covid times, it may be that the virtual tour is informative enough to help you to decide that Turton is the right school for your child. However, we believe that all parents of prospective pupils should have a realistic and genuine opportunity to assess the school for themselves. You should be able to walk around and experience an honest presentation of the whole learning environment.
As such, we are holding an Open Evening on Tuesday 28th September, from 5.00 pm to 7.30 pm. Due to Covid restrictions and our aim to keep everyone safe, the open evening will have limitations. You will be greeted on arrival by our wonderful prefects for a guided tour of the subject areas; pastoral and learning support staff will be available to answer questions and although we are not able to hold talks in the Arts Theatre, as we usually do, I will be available throughout the evening to discuss and answer questions.
Should you wish to attend in person, please limit family groups to one adult per child. Refreshments will be available during your visit and we hope you will take advantage of opportunities to talk to students, staff and other parents.
It is an important time for you and your son or daughter, so please ask any questions and we will do our best to answer them.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Very best wishes
SAM GORSE
Head Teacher
