Y5/6 Experience Sessions
Experience a session or full day at Ixworth High School
If your child would like to experience a session at Ixworth, feel the focused, calm and welcoming atmosphere of our classrooms, meet new people who are also interested in joining our school or, are just curious to experience the topic, then please register on one of our range of experience sessions for the Summer and Autumn term of 2026.
If you would like to book your child on an experience day, please follow the relevant link to Eventbrite located below the experience. If there are no further spaces available, please share your details with the school where we will add you to the waiting list. Alternatively, view the range of other experiences we provide throughout the Summer and Autumn terms and book your child onto one of these.
We ask that parents do not book their child onto all experience sessions immediately to allow others the opportunity to book as well.
All Year 5 students are welcome to book onto the CSI day event.
New additions will be added throughout the year as they become available. We have attempted to ensure they are in chronological order to support you with your own calendar and diary.

As technology evolves at lightning speed, it is changing the way we live—sometimes for the better, and sometimes in ways that challenge our health and wellbeing. But, what if we could use the power of technology to help us live healthier lives?
In this interactive session, the Computing team will guide students through this exciting question. They’ll explore today’s fast‑growing technologies, examine modern lifestyle habits, and investigate how innovative tech solutions could help tackle health issues that technology itself may influence. Students will work together to imagine and design ideas that use technology to support a healthier future.
