Taster morning for children in Reception to Year 5 to experience a day at The Abbey Junior School, with lessons, a school lunch and the climbing wall.
The Abbey Junior School is holding a taster day on Thursday 4 February 2027, and it's open to children currently in Reception through to Year 5. The morning is set up as a glimpse into a day in the life of the school: a taster of lessons, a school lunch, the chance to meet new friends, and a go on the climbing wall.
The whole morning is built around children's curiosities, with the kind of questions that usually come up when you're that age. They'll be looking at how the Ancient Greeks measured the earth's circumference, how seeds grow, and why feet smell but noses run. The activities change as the children move through the school: Reception get to dress up, Prep pirouette, Lower Juniors investigate, and Upper Juniors collaborate.
For a bit of context, The Abbey is one of the country's foremost independent girls' schools, educating girls from age 3 to 18, and its Junior School is described as exciting and vibrant. The taster day is one of the ways they open the doors to families thinking about the school. They host one taster day per term, and if you can't make this one, they offer an alternative date for families who can't make the listed ones.
