Year 7 Open Evening
The event is for prospective Year 7 students. As part of the event, you will receive a warm welcome from the Headteacher and hear from some of our students. You will also be able to listen to a presentation about our admissions process and can speak directly with our admissions secretary if you have any queries. There will also be a tour of the school facilities where you will see many of our students engaging in a variety of activities.
Our Open Evening is from 6:30pm until 9:00pm on Wednesday 18 September 2024.
The Headteacher will deliver his presentation in the Main Hall three times (6:30pm, 7:15pm and 8:00pm). Spaces for this presentation fill up very fast, so we would encourage you to book tickets for all who will be attending the presentation using the booking links (which will appear below). A tour of the School will be available on a rolling basis throughout the evening, so you may choose to have a tour before you attend the presentation in the hall.
Links to making a booking will be shared here in September.
Please see our Contact page for travel and parking information.
