INDEPENDENT EDUCATION The Old Hall School Open evening for parents of pre-school children he Old Hall School in Wellington is to host an open evening for parents of pre-school children to help them prepare for the official start of primary school this September. T Headmaster Mr Martin Stott said there would be a team of experts including reception class teachers, sports and music tutors and the School's Special Educational Needs Coordinator to talk to parents. “It is a very exciting time for families but it can be quite a daunting and emotional experience, “said Mr Stott. “We felt an informal evening but one packed with information and support might help to make this transition smoother.” The event on February 27, at 7pm will be followed by a craft activities morning for pre-school children as part of its whole school open morning on March 1, from 10am to 12.30pm. It will be a busy week for the school which also hosts its official Working Open Day on Friday, February 28 (visits by appointment).
