Head teacher Andrew Buttery said: "At Elvington we warmly welcome visits from prospective families and encourage you to come and look around our exceptional school.
"We understand that choosing the right school is an important decision, and we recommend visiting several schools to make an informed choice.
"There is nothing better than first-hand experience—meeting school leaders, hearing about their vision and asking questions about how the school’s provision will ensure your child’s potential is fulfilled.
"To gain a better understanding of how our school works, we invite parents and carers to join us for our open morning on Wednesday, October 1.
"On the day prospective parents will receive a welcome from myself at 9.30am, take a guided tour of the school and have the opportunity to ask any questions.
"The event is suitable for parents/carers of children from birth to 11 years of age. If you would like an additional tour following your visit, this can be arranged via the school office.
"We look forward to welcoming people to our school community."
