Year 5 OPEN EVENING - Thursday 9th July 2026

Choosing a secondary school is an important milestone, and we know how vital it is to find a place where your child will feel confident, supported and inspired. We'd love to welcome you and your child to our Year 5 Open Evening at Charters School this July — and show you what makes us special. Our values of Unity, Respect and Excellence aren't just words; they shape every classroom, every relationship and every opportunity we offer. On the evening, you'll see them in action as you explore our school, meet our staff and talk with our students — a community that works together, values every individual, and strives for the very highest standards. We look forward to showing you how Charters nurtures curiosity, builds confidence and gives every child the tools they need to become leaders, creators and critical thinkers — ready to thrive in Year 7 and beyond. No booking is necessary to attend the event and visit our classrooms, however if you would like to hear our Headteacher's presentation at 5:00pm or 6:00pm you can reserve your seats below: BOOK FOR HEADTEACHER'S PRESENTATIONPlaces are limited for the presentation, so we encourage early booking.
