Come and see the school

Any school looks good in a brochure. Come on a Tuesday or Thursday morning in term time, when classes are in session, and judge it for yourself.

What to expect

Six things about a Star Avenue tour

We would rather you came away with an accurate picture than a favourable one.

  • About an hour

    Tours start at 9:00am and take around an hour. You are welcome to stay afterwards and ask questions in the office.

  • You will meet a section head

    Not a marketing person. Whoever runs the section your child would join takes you round, and answers for it.

  • Classes will be in session

    We do not clear corridors or stage lessons. You will see the school on an ordinary working morning, noise and all.

  • You will see the specialist rooms

    The ICT laboratory, the science laboratory, the library, the kitchen, the clinic and the field. Ask to see anything else.

  • You can ask for the evidence

    Class registers, the safeguarding policy, the fee schedule, BECE results. Ask on the day and we will show you.

  • You can speak to a parent

    Tell us your child's year group and we will put you in touch with a current parent in that class.

Come prepared

Questions worth asking any school

Including us. If a school will not answer these plainly, that tells you something.

  1. 01

    How many children are in the class my child would join — today, not on paper?

  2. 02

    How often will my child read aloud to a teacher?

  3. 03

    What happens if my child falls behind, and who pays for it?

  4. 04

    Who is your designated safeguarding lead, and may I see the child-protection policy?

  5. 05

    How many of the teachers who were here two years ago are still here?

  6. 06

    May I see a recent report card, with the names blanked out?

  7. 07

    What are last year's BECE results, in full?

Bring your child. Watching how a school’s staff speak to a five-year-old at the gate is worth more than any brochure.
