Keswick School:
Dear Year 6 Parents
Secondary school application process
Planning information sessions for Year 6 pupils and parents has been particularly challenging under the current Government guidance. Therefore, sadly we have decided that it is not appropriate to have the traditional open mornings at Keswick School this year. Instead, we have produced a virtual open day led by some of our wonderfully charismatic students. We hope this conveys a flavour of our school community, which is based on our values that everyone should be happy and enjoy being at school in order to succeed. It is something we have many years of experience doing. We do this with an incredibly dedicated staff team who place the care and support of every individual child as their top priority.
You are able to watch our virtual open day and find out more information about Keswick School by clicking the link below: https://keswick.fluencycms.co.uk/Admissions-September-2021
