Open Days / Nights: 23rd – 28th January 2023

All the Open Days & Nights broken down by day for the week commencing 23rd January 2023.

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.

How To Buy

All normal licences are a simple, one-off payment (except the monthly subscription of course) and they can be purchased in confidence through a normal PayPal account or using a normal bank card and the Guest option.

Licences are purchased depending on the length of time required and as additional years are only charged at £15 per year, it’s worth considering a longer licence if you have a younger sibling.
