Frequently asked questions
What is a taster day?
A taster day is when a prospective pupil spends part of a school day in lessons with the year group they would join. It lets the child try the school. It is not usually an assessment.
What happens on a taster day?
Your child is paired with a current pupil for a few lessons, break and lunch, and sometimes sport or music. Parents drop off and collect. Most run from mid-morning to mid-afternoon.
Is a taster day an assessment?
Not normally. Schools say it is for the child to experience the school. Observed sessions that form part of admissions are listed on our assessment dates page.
What age are taster days for?
Every entry point. Nurseries and pre-preps run stay-and-play sessions with a parent, prep and senior schools run taster days from about 7+, and sixth forms run subject tasters for 16+.
What should my child bring to a taster day?
Usually school uniform or smart clothes, PE kit if sport is on, a packed lunch if lunch is not provided, and a pencil case. The school will confirm when you book.
