Tours of the School

 

We are always delighted to show parents/carers around the school and answer any questions they might have. Please telephone the school office on 01202 822652 to arrange a tour.

In most cases, the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher will accompany parents/carers on school tours. 

For new pupils due to start school in September, tours are available during the Autumn Term on our Open Days. Details of these events will be advertised in the local area, on our website and on our social media pages nearer the time.
