Dd is in Y10 at a small Private school. We really like it but since a new Head has taken over there is a definite shift towards more marketing and promotion of the school. I know it’s a business and results are still excellent and the school is full for the first time ever but they’ve come up with a new idea that I think is a bit crazy and unworkable. I would especially welcome the opinion on teachers. My Dd starts Y7 in September so it would affect him
In mid November one Tuesday afternoon at 2 all Y7 pupils are asked to invite their favourite teacher from their previous school to their new school for afternoon tea and to share their Y7 progress so far.
About 50% of Y7 will come from the prep school but the rest will come from pretty ordinary and mixed state Primaries. Would a teacher really want or be able to have an afternoon off to visit another school for afternoon tea with an ex pupil? I can imagine the response if I asked one of the teachers from DS primary (3 form entry), although I’m pretty friendly with The Head so I might be able to talk her into it
It seems like a nice idea in theory but totally impractical and will just consist of teachers from The Prep school while the rest of Y7 feel a bit left out?

Is it me or is this a bit of a silly idea?
