Open Evening welcomes over 1,200 visitors to visit our school
Our annual Open Evening proved to be one of the most popular events each year as we welcomed over 1,200 visitors coming from Boston, Skegness and surrounding towns and villages.
We would like to thank every parent/carer and student from Years 4 to 6 who attended and made this event such a vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere. There was a real community spirit throughout the whole evening as so many families were pleased to see each other as they explored the school.
It was so rewarding for the staff and students in the whole school to see how enthusiastic the students in Years 4 to 6 and their parents/carers were as they viewed all of the different subject areas, led by our team of dedicated student tour guides.
With a capacity audience in the school hall and so many people eager to visit on the evening, our main presentations with Mrs Curson, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Miss Belcher, Head of School started earlier than scheduled and we run many subsequent presentations due to visitors attending throughout the evening. These talks provided parents/carers with a real insight into the school and the feedback afterwards shows how much they appreciate being able to hear from the Trust leadership.
We would like to thank every one of the Giles Academy students who were amazing on the evening as they were so enthusiastic and passionate about wanting to represent the subject areas and show families around the school.
Eden Blakey and Freya Dobson in Year 7 did a fantastic job speaking so confidently in the main hall during the presentation and Tia Moore in Year 7 and Bella Mustill in Year 9 kept the audience entertained with mesmerising solo keyboard and vocal performances.
The Open Evenings provide the perfect opportunity for parents/carers to really find out about the school as there is no substitute to seeing it in person. On the evening we received so many positive comments from parents/carers who attended and it was a pleasure to see so many smiling faces.
