Dear Parents and Carers

The last few weeks have seen lots of families touring the school with their Year 6 children, which has been really enjoyable. Thanks to the staff who have welcomed into their classroom a tour group of 20 people to watch them teach or paused their lessons to speak to the Year 6s and their parents, and thanks to all who joined us over the last few weeks, I hope you enjoyed seeing the school in session.

One thing that is always discussed (normally before the tour over a coffee in our new Sixth Form Centre) is catchment areas in Warwick and Leamington. The answer to this is now very different to how it was two years ago due to Oakley School opening. Oakley School has taken all the place pressure out of the area, especially Warwick, which means current Year 6 parents will have lots of choice. The numbers show this will remain the case for the next few years as the new housing is built. Myton can take up to 284 into Year 7 (though we are slightly fewer than that in our current Year 7 due to higher numbers going to Oakley). We also saw our catchment move further out, as far as Hatton for our current Year 7s. 

The next few years will see exactly what the Local Authority planned, giving parents some choice and having all kids in Warwick and Leamington in local schools. Certainly a good time to be a Year 6 parent and if I saw you on our tours, I hope you enjoyed seeing us with all our kids in.

Best wishes
