Opt-in Taster Days

If your child is in Year 5 and you live outside the catchment area or did not visit Sheldon School with their primary school, we would like to welcome you to one of our 'Opt-in' Taster Days. During this session you will get to find out what student life at Sheldon is all about and will get to meet other perspective students from out of area.

Each session will begin at 9am and students will need to be collected from the school at 2:30pm. During they day they will participate in lessons in science, PE, computer science and Spanish. They will also have a special session introducing them to the Sheldon Library. Students should wear their Primary School PE kit and bring a pen or pencil with them. Snacks and a hot dinner will be provided by Sheldon so that students can get a taste of the delicious food available in the Refectory. Alternatively, they can bring a packed lunch.

This is a wonderful opportunity to experience a normal, timetabled day and get a feel for what school is like for secondary students. We look forward to welcoming you to Sheldon! If you have any questions about our Taster Days, please get in touch by emailing tasterdays@sheldonschool.co.uk

Sheldon gave me confidence in my abilities and supported my ambitions. Going to a state school has many benefits over private in terms of real-world experience and being friends with a varied group of students. This has helped me in my life since school.
