On Tuesday 11 June, Year 5 pupils enjoyed an early opportunity to experience life at the Foundation’s senior school when they attended a ‘Taster Day’ at Princethorpe College. Pupils took part in a number of different classroom lessons; depending on their group, they enjoyed Art, Science, History, English and Psychology or Business Studies. They also had a tour of the school buildings, lunch in the Refectory and participated in other activities including a pupil panel (a great chance to ask those questions you wouldn’t ask a teacher!)
The Taster Day experience is all about letting the Year 5 children enjoy a day at secondary school, a first chance to become familiar with the bigger school environment, helping to make the forthcoming change a less daunting experience.
Parents are reminded that Crescent School children are not automatically entered for Princethorpe’s Entrance Examinations. Those wishing to apply for September 2020 entry must complete a registration form by Friday 4 October at the latest and the Entrance Examinations will take place on Saturday 9 November.
