Do you take your year 5/6 DC to secondary school open evenings?

Stupid question, I know I should know the answer to this one. Obviously you can't take them to morning sessions when they'll be at school, but what about late afternoon/early evening sessions?

I'm guessing the answer is no, not normally, but you could if you had no other childcare. Is that right? or is it actually a good thing to get them involved? (especially if they may need motivation for aptitude tests etc).

I remember being taken round my prospective schools when I was seven, but those were slightly different circumstances.

We did but then we only went to the school we wanted (catchment, not over subscribed) so I think that makes a difference.

I took DS. He's the one who has to like the school and get the determination to get into it.
