Visits to Bohunt Farnborough…
If you have missed our Open Evening and daytime tours, do get in contact if you would like to see the school.
At Bohunt Farnborough, we offer a programme of visits to our school, both for children in Year 6, after they choose their Secondary school, and for Year 5 students whose families are beginning to ponder this difficult decision. We will contact parents via feeder schools about these visits.
These visits aim to expose children to areas of the curriculum in which we at Bohunt Farnborough have a greater depth of facilities than perhaps the Primary or Junior school can offer. For example, visits from Years 5 and 6 students take place to participate in Ceramics and 3D Design, Cookery, Music and Drama, not to mention a wide array of sports activities. These visits allow children to get over the initial fear of stepping into 'big school' and allow them to experience what we have to offer as they make their choice of school. In addition, these are valuable opportunities for our excellent staff to get to know your child and for our own students to build their confidence and communication skills as they assist with these days.
We visit all of our feeder schools personally to meet the students themselves – all part of our very personalised and warm approach.
We hope very much that you make Bohunt Farnborough your school of choice for next year and I look very much forward to meeting you.
