Prospective parents can learn about the philosophy and curriculum at Thames Ditton Junior School when it opens its doors on September 28.

Headteacher Nick Fry and his colleagues will give a talk about the before taking questions from parents.

Parents from the immediate local community and those from the wider area who are considering primary school options are all welcome.

The school will also offer guided daytime tours during October and November.

Mr Fry said: “Selecting a school for a child is one of the most important and personal choices a parent has to make. “Our success has been recognised most recently by an outstanding Ofsted report in November 2010 - we encourage parents to come and see for themselves.”

To reserve a place on a guided tour, call the school office on 020 8398 3039.

Surrey County Council is accepting online applications for junior schools from now.
