42 CHECK LIST
QUIZ PUPILS - As most Open Days involve being shown around the school by current pupils, this gives you a perfect opportunity to get some ‘straight’ answers to questions that may concern you. Bear in mind, however, that you would expect pupils to display a certain amount of loyalty to the school in their answers. This is a chance to get answers to questions that may be very specific to you, eg healthy eating, break-time activities, how strict (or otherwise) the school is, school trips, etc.
