FAQs
You can choose between two of the following options for your discovery session – just let us know via the booking form:
- 08h50-10h30 (this includes a guided tour of the school for your family as well as the chance to meet and chat with the Headmaster, Mr James Featherstone)
- 08h50-10h30, return 15h30 (your child stays for a taster day and is picked up at The Chantry reception at 15h30). Please note that taster days as part of Discovery Week are only open to children in Reception and above.
A ‘taster day’ is an exciting opportunity for your child(ren) to spend a school day with a class of their current year group. Break-time snacks and lunch are provided by our catering team, Thomas Franks Ltd. There is no charge for a taster day.
Children have their taster days in the school year group that they are currently in.
