More open days have been announced at The Watkin to help families of prospective and confirmed students learn more about our largest school.

The site in Wythenshawe will open from 4pm to 6pm on Thursday 11 June, as well as Saturday 20 June from 10am to 1pm.


Joining the school often marks a key moment in moving from primary to secondary education and the days offer visitors a chance to explore the school environment, meet the team and discover how students learn day-to-day.


Whether you're looking for confidence in the environment or an opportunity to meet the team, the two days, set across the week, will provide just that.


The 'pop in at any time' policy means attendees can turn up at a moment that suits within the opening times.


With many young people requiring specialist education having experienced time out of education, the team can also discuss strategies to help with reintegration, in this instance at The Watkin.


The dates are a perfect opportunity to liaise on, or learn about, adjustments, the curriculum, food arrangements and activities and events that take place.


An array of questions about accessing specialist education are available on our EHC Plan page.


In the meantime, or if open day availability still doesn't line up, questions on The Watkin or any aspect of the transition process can be submitted via email to admissions@firststepstogether.uk.


More details about The Watkin, including the address, can be found here.
