what to ask on a school visit?

[cardigan]

I'm visiting a senior school tomorrow for my dd - for possible admission in 3 or 4 yrs time. What should I ask? There seems so much to cover in a short time. I'll be meeting the headteacher plus I'll be there with my baby dd!!

Baby dd is 18 months!! - should have put toddler!!

Some questions on my list (in no partic. order):
o Reaction to most recent Ofsted report
o Class sizes / teacher ratios
o Staff retention rate
o Approach to discipline
o Are school lunches cooked on site
o How well equiped is the library
o Use of computers
o Extra-curricular activities
o Is there drama / dance / music
o Do children learn a foreign language
o Are assemblies held
o Admissions procedure - when an offer would be made, deposit expected, whether over-subscribed
o What prep / secondary schools do they feed into

Hope this helps!

Thanks Azure - some qu's I hadn't thought of but V.important - so I'll be asking them
