Taster Days

We offer Taster Days in the Performing Arts and Modern Foreign Languages.  The Taster Days are designed to give prospective trainees an insight into a local school by observing a taught session, meeting staff and pupils and having a tour of a school.

Performing Arts Taster Day

A highly successful Performing Arts Taster Day was held in January 2010 at Coombeshead College, Newton Abbot. We will be running a similar Performing Arts Taster Day will be held in January 2011.

The openess and informal structure of the day were very effective."

Modern Foreign Languages Taster Day

A very successful MFL Taster Day was held in March 2010 at St Peter's in Exeter, one of our partnership schools which has an outstanding Modern Foreign Languages department. We will be running a similar MFL Taster Day in March 2011.
