SECONDARY TRANSFER PROCESS Year 7 2023
OPEN EVENTS FOR PROSPECTIVE YEAR 7 STUDENTS
Thank you for considering attending one of our Open Events. These are designed for parents/carers and children considering applying for a Year 7 place commencing September 2023. Bristol Cathedral Choir School will hold two open events on the following dates:
THURSDAY 15th SEPTEMBER 2022
THURSDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2022
Please click here to sign up for one of our Open Events
Whilst we are keen to re-open our site to prospective students and their families, we want to ensure that we manage numbers of visitors, so that we can ensure a high quality experience. This means that all events will be ticketed for a maximum of 180 visitors per session, with 3 bookable sessions per evening at 4:30, 5:30 or 6:30. The experience will include an introduction to our school from the Headteacher and a short tour of the site, conducted by experienced staff and existing students. In aggregate this will last approximately 50 minutes. We recognise that this is a more restrictive experience than we have previously provided, but it will include a selection of open classrooms celebrating student learning and access to members of our Learning Support team.
Therefore, in order to allow as many families the opportunity to attend we urge you to visit with up to 2 parents/carers and Year 6 child(ren) only. You will need a ticket for each member of your family.
Booking is essential to attend one of these Open Events.
NOTE REGARDING PARKING: there is no car parking on the school site or on College Square. For the safety of all please do not drive into College Square. Click here to find the nearest available parking.
A recording of the Head of School's Presentation from last year, together with a collection of virtual introductions to subjects at BCCS is available to view here.
