Year 7 Taster Day at Ashville

Published by Ashville Harrogate on Thursday 31st of October 2024

One of the most exciting days in our annual School calendar takes place next month.

The Year 7 Taster Day on Saturday 16 November 2024 gives prospective pupils the chance to sample Senior School life at Ashville.

Prospective pupils have the opportunity to take part in activities across the school, ranging from making artefacts in Design and Technology to playing Music, enjoying Art, participating in Sport and even trying their hand at Science experiments in the laboratories.

Children get to meet current pupils, teachers and Ashville’s famous Green ties from the Upper Sixth who buddy up with Year 7 starters from September and help them settle into the school.

Miss Jane Ellis, Head of Lower School (Year 7 and 8) said the Taster Day was a significant day across the whole school and a wonderful opportunity to welcome in the next generation of Ashville pupils.

“It gives pupils a genuine flavour of life here at Ashville and helps them prepare and look forward to the natural progression from Year 6 in either from our Prep School or from our local feeder schools, and it’s the start of their adventure as they move to Year 7.

“It’s a great way to spend a few hours making new friends and familiarising themselves with the school, and of course we always finish the morning with a terrific school lunch which is a highlight for many of the children!”
