These provide an accurate impression of the school’s ethos, values, staff, students and amenities. You get the opportunity to listen to insightful talks from the headmistress and the head girl. A tour of the premises follows, providing an opportunity to get a first-hand look at what life at Maltman’s looks like. Casual chats with Year 6 pupils prove incredibly valuable.
