Taster Days

Taster days take place every July and are designed to give you an idea of what daily life is like in Sprowston Community High School. On Friday 2nd July your child will attend Sprowston Community High School for the full day to experience school life, meet their new form tutor and fellow tutees. We provide a free packed lunch on that day. Don’t forget to bring a pencil case and a drink!

Your child will go to Junior School as normal on the day they will then travel to us at Sprowston Community High School by either coach or walking. They will arrive here and be met in the Hall by their Had of Year and their form tutor. They will then have an opportunity to meet their form group and tutor.

A tour of the school will take place and also time to meet and talk with existing pupils so that they can ask any questions that they have and get a feel for the building and its grounds.

They will also take part in one of the many taster lessons that are held. These will include Geography, English, PE, Languages, Science, Drama and many more. These are planned and delivered just like a normal High School lesson so that the new students can see what daily lessons are like.

All students will be provided with a packed lunch and will not be expected to bring their own lunch. During this time they will have a chance to wander and explore the school.

After school there will be an opportunity for parents to come into school and meet with the form tutors. This is an important time for both you and your child. During this time the tutors will hold a brief presentation and time will be added to discuss individual concerns. Times and dates will be provided nearer the time.
