BHS Virtual Open Evening
Dear Parent/Carer and Year 5 and 6 students,
I would like to introduce myself as the Headteacher of Bedwas High School. In ‘normal’ times I would be inviting you into school for our Open Evening. Unfortunately, due to the impact of Covid-19, we cannot welcome yourselves on to our school site as we would have liked. We are so disappointed by this, as it would have been lovely to meet you.
Instead, we will be holding a Virtual Open Evening for Year 5 and 6 children and their parents/carers on Wednesday the 13th of October from 4.00pm onwards. This will entail video welcomes and information from myself and senior colleagues as well as welcomes, tours of classrooms and even some lessons for you all to try out. This can be accessed through the ‘Transition’ page on our website: www.bedwashigh.org. Furthermore, you can ask us any question you would like to through the feedback page on our website: www.bedwashigh.org/contact-us. The Virtual Open Evening videos and information will stay on our website for the next few weeks for you to watch when is most convenient to you. The Virtual Open Evening is focussed on Year 6 and Year 5 pupils but pupils in younger year groups are more than welcome to watch the videos if they wish to.
Making the decision about secondary schools is such an important one and there are so many things which you will need to find out in order to help you to do this. Viewing the videos and information in our Virtual Open Evening will help you to understand just what it is that makes Bedwas High so special and why we would like your son or daughter to be part of our community. As you are aware the closing date for applications to secondary schools is on the 22nd of October. Please visit www.caerphilly.gov.uk/schooladmissions for further information and to complete an application.
I am so sorry that we have to run our Open Evening in this way. We all hope that later on in the school year that the Year 5 and 6 children and parents/carers will have the opportunity to visit the school and get a real feel for what makes our school so brilliant. I am very proud to be the Headteacher of Bedwas High School. It really is an excellent place to be and one which has an extremely exciting future. I would really like you to view the videos and the other information on our website that will give you a flavour why Bedwas High is the right choice for your child!
I hope you enjoy the Virtual Open Evening and please do not hesitate to contact me in school with any questions you may have.
Best wishes
Stephen Diehl
Headteacher
