Open Afternoon
Saturday 3 October 2020

Our main Saturday Open Day for families looking at 16+ 2021 entry and beyond will take place online on Saturday 3 October 2020, in the afternoon. This will be a great opportunity to view the school site virtually and meet staff and pupils. We would be delighted to see you: please register here.

The safety of our pupils, staff and visitors is our priority and, due to the numbers of guests we normally welcome, we are unable to welcome families in person for the Open Event. However, we do our best to incorporate tours into any assessment day and will ensure families of children who receive the offer of a place are able to visit before making their decision.

We very much look forward to meeting you as soon as we are able.

Please review our Sixth Form subject choices booklet to decide which courses you would like to study.
