This opportunity will also enable parents and carers of children approaching school age to visit nursery and reception classes before making a decision about their child’s primary education.

Visitors to Eldon Grove Academy will be invited to see learning in action and have the chance to speak to teachers and pupils about life in the school.

A host of activities will be available from 9.30am to 11.30am for potential pupils to experience.

Assistant head and early years lead, Claire Martindale, said: “We are often contacted by parents and carers trying to decide upon their nursery or primary school so we thought it would be a good idea to open up our doors.
