Open Mornings

Our Open Mornings are a chance for parents and other visitors to take a look around our provision, view the facilities, meet staff and find out about available places and the admissions procedure. To minimise disruption to our young people we limit the numbers on each open morning and therefore ask that anyone who would like to visit book a place using the details below.

We regret that we cannot accommodate children on these visits. A maximum of four visitors can be booked onto each morning.

Admissions procedure
