Open Days / Nights: 16th – 21st January 2023

All the Open Days & Nights broken down by day for the week commencing 16th January.

My advice… check each day carefully and see if there’s a possible school you can attend and go for it! And don’t forget to check out all the local high schools as well as the grammars that you might have your eye on.

Enjoy.
