Discovery Days

Join us for one of our Discovery Days and get the chance to enjoy sample lessons, build friendships and meet our fantastic body of staff.

Academic Health Check & Winter Workshop

An engaging day of festive discovery paired with impartial academic insight

On Friday 29th November, Weston Green will be a hive of activity as we welcome children to our winter workshop and academic health check.

At Weston Green Prep, we believe children perform at their best when they feel relaxed, secure, and inspired.

Our Winter Workshop & Academic Health Check offers children in Years 2–6 a vibrant day of hands-on sport, creative arts, and interactive science challenges.

Educational Assessment

Throughout the day, short 1-to-1 mini-assessments in reading, maths, spelling, and creative writing take place on an ad hoc basis in a warm, low-pressure setting.

Because there are no rigid test slots, your child can immerse themselves fully in the group activities without ever feeling tested or missing out on the fun.

What Parents Receive

At the end of the day, you will receive a free, confidential Academic Health Report detailing four key core learning areas:

  • Reading Age: Standardised evaluation of comprehension and fluency.

  • Spelling Age: Core literacy skill assessment.

  • Maths Score: Problem-solving and numerical reasoning analysis.

  • Creative Writing Appraisal: Qualitative feedback on vocabulary, structure, and expression.

1-to-1 Senior Leadership Guidance: Following the event, you will be invited to receive verbal feedback and professional guidance during a personal debrief with a member of our Senior Leadership Team to discuss your child’s results and next academic steps.

Why take part?

Our Winter Workshop and Academic Health Check discovery day allows pupils in current Years 2-6 to experience some of the magic we deliver at Weston Green every day. Taking part in inspiring lessons delivered by our enthusiastic specialist teaching staff, visiting children get a real sense for what it is like as a pupil at Weston Green.

Our Academic Health Check offers parents invaluable insight into their child’s current attainment and progress, relative to their respective starting points. If you would like to know more about your child’s academic progress, or get a better understanding of how assessment data informs educators, our Academic Health Check is an invaluable opportunity to get professional guidance.

Sample Workshop Schedule

Please note: The timetable below is an indicative sample of the activity flow. Individual 1-to-1 academic check-ins take place ad hoc throughout the day, allowing children to step away briefly for a gentle chat and return seamlessly to their workshop.
