YEAR 5 AND YEAR 6 - OPEN MORNINGS & OPEN EVENING
Open Mornings from Monday 22nd September through to Friday 26th September. Arrival from 8.50am. Tours start at 9.05am.
See the school in action. This is the ideal opportunity to get a real feel for the atmosphere of the school and ask your tour guides lots of questions. Parents and pupils in Year 5 and Year 6 are welcome to attend our Open Mornings. The morning tours get underway with a welcome talk before having a tour around our school. At the end of the tour, you are welcome to stay for light refreshments and talk to members of our Senior Leadership Team.
Open Evening on Monday 29th September from 6pm - 8pm
Staff and pupils look forward to welcoming all Year 5 and Year 6 pupils and their families to our Open Evening. Please arrive early to allow time to be seated in the Drama Studio for the Headteacher's welcome at 6pm. There will be a second introduction at 7pm to allow for numbers. Following a welcome talk from our Headteacher, you will have the opportunity to wander around our school. All department areas will be open and staffed for you to ask any questions you may have about GTS.

The transition from primary to secondary school is a significant milestone in a child's educational journey, and we recognise how important it is to ensure this process is as smooth and supportive as possible.
At GTS, we are committed to easing pupils into this new phase by providing a carefully structured transition programme. This includes dedicated transition days, opportunities to meet key staff, and tailored support to help pupils feel confident and prepared.
We work closely with local primary schools to share important information and ensure continuity in learning and wellbeing. By creating a welcoming and nurturing environment from the outset, we aim to help every pupil settle in quickly, build positive relationships, and thrive in their new school community.
