My child is year 6 so senior apllication due in October 31st.
We did some opened evenings last year 4 different schools when in year 5.
Many if our city schools opened evenings are hugely busy
Some only have evenings no day tours!
We looked at some more schools this year and revisited 2 from last year.
Last fri morning I sent her in late as was no other way we could see the school we wanted to see as husband 2 work schedule and find open morning easier get a feel for the school.
Also many of open evenings clashed so it's been hard seeing them all .
Unfortunately we went and not keen.
There's 1 last school we would all like to see and they have open afternoon next week .
Primary are saying they only authorise 1 senior school visit.
Other local primaries being quite flexible
Where did I stand on this matter legally.
We attend a state lea run primary right now.
I know the scholl have authorised taster days at independent senior schools in past.
I don't think I'm being unreasonable miss 2 sessions as it's an important decision .
By child has a great attendance record
Apart from sickness no authorised absence .
