Joining Little Heath School
Open Evening September 2024
We are very excited to welcome you into Little Heath School for our Open Evening event taking place on Thursday 19 September 2024 from 4:15pm - 7:00pm (No booking is required).
Doors will open from 4:15pm. Please enter either through the Sixth Form entrance or the Main Entrance. We recommend visitors allow plenty of time for their visit as every year we find that those who arrive after 6pm do not have enough time to visit all the departments.
There will be an 'Introduction to Little Heath School' talk from Ms Button, our Deputy Head in charge of KS3, a number of our Little Heath School students, and from our Headteacher, Mr Ramsden, at 5:30pm and 7:00pm in the Main Hall. These talks are optional and there is no need to sign up. The talk will also be videoed and posted to the website after the event.
Teaching departments and the school site will close at 7pm. Only the Main Hall will remain open for the final talk of the evening.
