Open Mornings & Evenings

Open Events 2025-2026

 

Year 5 Open Morning Tours, March 2025

The next set of Year 5 Open Morning Tours will take place on Tuesday, 25 March and Tuesday, 22 April 2025.  There will be two sets of tours on both these dates, the first starting at 9:15am and the second at 10:15am.  The booking system for these tours will go live in mid-January.

You will need to book places on these tours if you wish to attend.  Please note that, as the open mornings are taking place during the school day, places will be restricted.  For this reason, we have to limit the places to 3 per party (including the person making the booking).  If you have twins or triplets, you can increase the number to 4 or 5 to accommodate everybody.
