We were thrilled to open our doors last night to welcome many local families into school for our annual Year 6 open evening. The event offered a sneak peek into student life, allowing guests to discover what makes Northfield special.

The turnout was outstanding, marking the evening a huge success. We’re happy that so many people stopped by to take a look at our facilities and chat to our members of staff.

Warm Welcomes

We opened with welcome presentations by our Headteacher, followed by department tours where our pupils displayed their skills and ran some exciting challenges for the visitors!

Department Tours

Year 6 pupils and their parents had the opportunity to explore the school's facilities, chat with staff members, meet current pupils, and hear an insightful presentation from Headteacher, Mr Henderson.

Guests also explored Northfield's separate Year 7 school, designed to ease the transition from primary to secondary education. Our Year 7 pupils benefit from having their own classrooms, yard, and canteen and venture into the main building for classes such as PE, music and art, enabling them to settle in more comfortably.

Workshops

Our popular Science Department put on an array of investigations for pupils to get stuck into, including the hair-raising Van der Graff and thrilling fire experiments. Design and Technology drew in the crowds with delicious pizza workshops and their fascinating machinery and robotics, and maths had plenty of thought-provoking games with sweet rewards!

It was a wonderful evening that provided just a glimpse of what Northfield has to offer. If you were unable to attend, or if you would like to see the school without the busy crowds, you can book a guided tour for one of three available dates - Guided tours - Northfield School & Sports College (northfieldssc.org)
