Year 6 Duke’s Secondary Open Evening

30th September 2025Rebecca Shaw

Parents/Carers of our Year 6 pupils,

The time has almost arrived for you to meet your child’s future caregivers and educators! Don’t miss out on this valuable opportunity to ask any questions you may have, get to know the staff members and see what life at Duke’s is all about. The Open Evening will be held on:

Wednesday 1st October 2025 at 4-6pm.

Discover what to expect with the transition period from Primary to Secondary and ask any personal queries you have regarding the school curriculum, educational opportunities, extra-curricular activities and pastoral support. The open evening will give you the information required to understand how you can best support your child in their move up to Secondary School. There will also be lots of fun and exciting things happening regarding each subject and your child will be given their very own ‘Passport’ and ‘Boarding Pass’ to welcome them aboard the bright journey into Year 7.

We hope all of our families enjoy the evening!
