High School Taster Days…
Year 5 will have the opportunity to visit both St Bede’s and St Mary’s Catholic High Schools to experience a taster day. This will be a great chance for the children to experience what it will be like to attend High school ahead of making their choices next year in year 6.
Tuesday 20th June - St Bede’s Science and Tech Day (Please see letter sent home this week)
Thursday 22nd June - St Mary’s Taster Day
For both visits, we will leave Our Lady’s shortly after the beginning of the school day and will return to school before the end of the school day. The children will wear their usual school uniform (They will NOT swim on Tuesday!) and will need to take a packed lunch. If your child is eligible for free school meals, then school can provide a school packed lunch to take with us (please let school know, so these can be ordered in advance). The school office will have emailed you regarding this.
