Open Evening for primary school students and their families

On Thursday 1^st October, Central Foundation opened its doors on Open Evening to prospective students, and their parents and carers, looking to apply for a secondary school place next year. This was the first open event we have hosted with over 500 people visiting the school. The Open Evening will be followed by four Open Mornings over the next two weeks.

Our guests had the opportunity to observe lessons in progress as well as a range of activities including music and drama performances dotted across the school, sport disciplines in our four sport venues, science experiments, subject quizzes and debating.

The primary school students and their families were shown around by our Year 11 Prefects and Tour Guides from Years 8 to Year 13 who engaged their presentation and leadership skills to complete the task. Over 300 students participated in the hosting of the open events both as participants of various activities during the Open Evening and as Student Ambassadors who welcomed the visitors and who led the tours.

We were delighted to see so many students from our local primary schools and other parts of London. We hope to see many of them again for our Year 7 induction events in the summer term 2027.
