Pupil Trial Visits
What happens when a prospective pupil is invited to a trial visit at The Unicorn School?
The following information guides pupils and parents through the trial visit procedure:
The Visit
The school day runs from 9am-3.45pm; you can drop your child off from 8.30am. Upon arrival at The Unicorn School, your child will be taken to their classroom to meet their class teacher. They will spend their time in class with the other children, unless they are having further assessments. Children in years 4-8 will attend their 30 minute one to one lesson each day. We do not offer a reduced timetable so children are expected to be in class for the duration of their visit.
Children should wear smart, comfortable clothing . Some children choose to wear their current school uniform, but any smart clothing is appropriate.
You will need to provide a packed lunch, bottle of drinking water and a healthy snack for your child (no nut or shellfish, please).
Your child will need to bring their own pencil case, and also a reading book.
Feedback to Parents
The week after your child’s visit, the admissions team will review all of the teacher feedback, and will offer your child a place, if appropriate, and subject to a satisfactory reference from your child’s current school.
