Tuesday 9 June 2026: Year 6 Information Evening at Lower School

This is an opportunity for you and your child to meet staff, look round the School and find out important information. The evening will start from 6.00pm with a formal welcome in the main hall at 6.15pm.

Please bring completed admission forms in to School and hand in to the office before the presentation.

Thursday 25 June 2026: Induction day

Year 6 children will come to King Edward VII Lower School to experience a full working day. They will start at 8.50am and finish at 3.00pm.  The children will have a tour of the School and will follow a timetable for the day. This will allow them to become familiar with our routines and give them a sense of a typical day at King Edward VII School. 

There will be staff on duty to meet and greet parents, carers and children on the induction day.  We would ask parents and carers to leave once they have dropped off their children and not to drop off your child by bringing a vehicle down the main drive from Darwin Lane.

The meeting place for Year 6 children will be the main assembly hall.  Children are to make their own way home on this day, so please discuss travel arrangements with your child in advance to ensure they can get home safely.

Your child will be given a guidance booklet to help them through the day.  We operate a cashless system in our dining room using ParentPay but special arrangements will apply for the induction day. At lunchtime King Edward VII School will provide a meal for your child, free of charge, up to the value of £3.00.  We would like your child to experience a normal lunch time service when they visit and they will be able to choose items from the menu for the day.  Please see the attached menu.  This value (£3.00) will be sufficient for your child to have a hot meal and pudding or to choose alternative items. The meal does not include a drink so please ensure that your child brings a drink in a suitable, non-glass container.

If your child has any food allergies, please advise us on the day. Alternatively, if your child would prefer to bring in their own packed lunch they can do so.
