Prospective Year 7 Open Evening

 

Thursday 2nd October 2025
4:30pm - 7:30pm 

We look forward to welcoming you to our Prospective Year 7 Open Evening on Thursday 3rd October. 

This is a perfect opportunity to visit the school, take a tour with our current Sixth Form students or wander round independently. There will be activities and demonstrations in classrooms for each subject, with teachers and students on hand to answer any questions that you may have. There is no need to book to attend the evening, and tours with our Sixth Form students can be arranged on the evening.  

Our Headteacher, Polly Lankester, will be holding three Headteacher talks in Saffron Hall at 4.30pm, 5.30pm and 7.30pm. The talks are a ticketed event and you will need to book a seat for a talk through the Saffron Hall booking website - links to follow.

Each talk will last approximately 45 minutes. If you are booking for the 7.30pm talk, please note that the rest of the school site will close at 7.30pm so, if you wish to visit classrooms, you will need to ensure that you have taken a tour earlier in the evening. We would suggest allowing up to 90 minutes for a tour with one of our Sixth Form tour guides.   

We would also like to invite you to read our school prospectus by clicking here. This will provide you with a useful insight to our school.
