Science and art displays, cookery and sport demonstrations, music and drama performances… these are just some of the activities taking place at the Plymouth College Preparatory School Open Morning.
The event for the co-ed day school for 2 ½ to 11 year olds is taking place on Saturday 19th March 10 a.m. to 12 noon. The Headmaster, Chris Gatherer, will be giving a welcome address at 10.15 a.m. Visitors will then be able to go on a tour of the school and meet the teachers and pupils.
Combining a healthy balance of high-quality academic study and a broad range of fun activities, the school also offers a bus service and free aftercare - nursery vouchers for three and four year olds can be used for children attending the school's Kindergarten department.
A major refurbishment in 2005 means that the Millfields-based school now boasts specialist rooms for science, ICT, art, music and design technology. It has spacious classrooms, a theatre, purpose-built sports hall and a chapel.
Headmaster, Chris Gatherer, said: "Our aim is to provide a safe and happy environment in which our pupils can grow in confidence and reach their full potential whatever their strengths. This is crucial in helping them to prepare for the next steps of their education and beyond.
"We hope that our Open Morning will give parents, grandparents and children a glimpse of what life is really like at the Prep School and that they will see first-hand why our pupils have a lot to smile about."
