Years 1 & 2 Outdoor Taster
We understand that choosing the right school for your child is paramount, therefore, we would like to make this process easier for you by inviting your son to try out one of our Year 1 & 2 Taster Sessions.
This is a wonderful introduction to Prep School, where the boys will build confidence and develop their communication and social skills by making new friends. They will spend time with our current Year 1 and 2 boys in a fun and relaxed environment, where they will discover our creative curriculum and spend time with our talented teachers and specialists in forest school and sport.
The Great Outdoors: Forest School
On Friday 2 February 2024, the taster session will start at 12pm and finish at 3pm, with specific focus on the great outdoors. The boys will be out and about exploring parts of our 45 acres of beautiful grounds with Mr Grace, our specialist forest school teacher. They will learn outdoor skills such as den building and foraging, as well as the importance of respecting nature and looking after our environment.
Lunch
Your son will join the other boys for lunch in our 18th century Salon, where they will choose from delicious and nutritious food options. The menu for the day will be released nearer the time, but please do let us know about any allergies or intolerances.
Sport
Mr Leek, Director of Sport and Mr Russ will be hosting the sports session and will teach the boys specific skills in sports such as hand-eye coordination and fun games based around rugby and football. Most importantly, this session will provide an introduction to Parkside’s Sporting Values: sport for fun, sport for life, good sportsmanship and teamwork. This session is for all abilities and will be an engaging and fun introduction to sport at Parkside School.
We look forward to welcoming you and your son to Parkside School, where we hope to ignite a passion for learning whilst having plenty of fun and making new friends. We were rated as “excellent” in all areas by the Independent School Inspectorate in September 2022 and shortlisted as one of the best schools for boys in 2022.
The Year 1 & 2 Outdoor Taster will start at 12pm and will finish at 3pm.
