A PRIVATE school in Droitwich will be holding an open day for parents who will be sending their children to school next year.

Dodderhill School in Crutch Lane is inviting families to tour their facilities on Thursday, January 16.

Parents can find out how the school works, meet and talk to the teachers and find out more about the curriculum taught in the new performing arts centre, sports hall, tennis courts and maze.

Headteacher Mrs Mawston said: “Our open days are very informal and relaxed occasions that give parents and prospective pupils a real insight into how we operate and really reflect the unique Dodderhill community feel that sets us aside from other schools.”

Following the open day, entrance assessments will take place on Thursday, January 30, for pupils hoping to secure their place at Dodderhill School.

The open day will take place from 10am until noon and 1.30pm until 3.00pm and does not need to be booked in advance.

Visits at other times can be arranged by calling 01905 778290. For further information, e-mail enquiries@dodder- hill.co.uk.
