HUNDREDS of prospective students and their parents flooded to Bohunt School’s successful open evening last month, keen to hear what they could experience at one of the top non-selective schools nationally.

Highlights of the even-ing’s activities included a capacity crowd for “Brainiac” style shows featuring Jon Tickle, an English department in full costume, the art Wonderland featuring willow stags and light installations, fantastic live bands and a very surreal humanities block.

It was also an opportunity to look around the new teaching block, the almost complete sports hall and hear about plans for a sixth form.

Bohunt head Neil Strowger, who was seen in the BBC2 fly-on-the-wall documentary featuring a number of Chinese teachers who competed with their UK colleagues to see who could achieve the best results, said: “This has been our most successful open evening to date in terms of numbers and excite-ment. Parents are attracted by our consistently impressive GCSE results and their experience of the open evening is decisive in securing their commitment to the school. Time and again our many visitors used the word ‘amazing’ to describe their experience of the school, its activities and enthusiastic staff and pupils.”
