Is there a best/worst month to visit schools? Really out of touch with how secondary schools work, but I was thinking about things like - if you go in july are all the yr11s gone because they've done their exams or is september not a good month cos the new intake haven't settled in and you don't get a realistic idea of how the school normally runs?
Or does it really make no difference?
And do popular schools let you visit more than once? ie. is it ok for parents to go round once and then bring their DC another day (to an oversubscribed school)?
How do you get to ask questions - friend went to an open evening and said there wasn't a questions session after the talk. Is that normal?
Any tips on the things to ask/look for that may not be in the literature/website/tour?
