School visits can be the best way to find out about a school. However, school open events can feel like a show - with student guides, well rehearshed presentations and exciting science experiments. If you are not prepared, you will not be able to find the information you really need.
 
These school visit guides are designed to give you suggestions of things to look for as you walk around the school and listen for as you hear presentations. They also offer some questions to pose to teachers and students as you move around the school.
 
This guide is specifically made for parents who want to focus on the curriculum in a school.
