Frequently asked questions

What is an open day?

An open day is a set date when a school welcomes prospective families to tour the site, meet staff and pupils and hear from the head. Most schools ask you to book a place.

When are independent school open days held?

Mostly between mid-September and mid-November, about a year before entry. Autumn 2026 open days are for September 2027 places. Sixth form open evenings usually fall in October and November.

Do I need to book an open day?

Usually, yes. Places are capped and popular open mornings fill weeks ahead. Each listing links to the school's own booking page.

What is the difference between an open day and a school tour?

An open day is a set event, often on a Saturday, with talks and pupil guides. A tour is a smaller visit on a normal school day, so you see the school as it really runs.

Can I visit a school outside its open days?

Most schools will arrange a private visit on request, especially if you are moving to the area. Contact the admissions office directly.
