Transition
We are delighted to invite parents and carers to our annual Open Evening on Thursday 10th October 2024 from 4-7pm. This event is a fantastic opportunity to view our school, meet our staff and see our students at work.
The transition between primary and secondary school is a very important phase in your child’s life. At NET Kirk Balk Academy, we place great emphasis on ensuring that this is a positive and enjoyable experience for each individual. Over several years, we have established a very effective liaison programme with our primary school partners and our Open Evening is a vital part of that process.
We are incredibly proud to be consistently one of the highest achieving schools in Barnsley. Due to such outstanding results, there is an increasing demand for places meaning there has never been a better time to visit NET Kirk Balk Academy to consider a place for your child.
During the evening, you will be able to explore the school and observe students working with their teachers during model lessons. There will also be the opportunity to attend a presentation by the Principal that takes place on three occasions during the evening at 4.30pm, 5.30pm and 6.30pm respectively. Please use the online booking system to reserve you and your child’s place at the presentation;
Prospective parents and students should only attend ONE of these presentations. After hearing the Principal speak, all prospective parents and students are welcome to tour our fantastic building.
The Open Evening is open to all parents/carers of students in Year 5 and Year 6. I hope that you and your child will be able to attend what promises to be an exciting and informative event. If you are unable to attend on the day, please do not hesitate to contact the academy to arrange a visit at a time that is convenient for you.
We look forward to seeing you at the Open Evening.
