About this event
**PLEASE NOTE ALL THREE SESSIONS ARE THE SAME SO YOU ONLY NEED TO BOOK ONTO ONE TIME SLOT**
This is an informal event for parents who are just about to start the application process for their Year 6 child to start secondary school.
Please leave your children at home for this event if you are able to do so, as spaces are limited and we want to let as many parents as possible have the opportunity to attend.
Each session will start with a short presentation about the process, and a Q&A with our Admissions team.
Parents will then get the opportunity to meet representatives from all mainstream secondary schools in Lewisham and find out more about them and ask them questions.
