New yr 7visit day - 5th of July, except at Pates?!

Post by Bemily »

Just noticed this. Seems like all the other schools are doing the visit day for those starting in September on the 5th of July, yet Pate's is doing theirs a day earlier - sadly this will mean missing sports day at our school. Does anybody know why or if anything can be done about it?

It's a pain isn't it. My DC will be missing the y5/6 school play or the Pates induction. However, not all schools doing it on 5th July - being a control freak, I looked it up to see if it was just my DC's problem. SHS and Marling are 29th June, two of the local comps are the 12th/13th July, another local comp is 5th July, the Indies are different again as was Tommies.

It does seem crazy that they can't all co-ordinate - I'm sure they did in the past.

Oh, and if DC wants to do French morning at Pates, that's Sports day at the current school!
