Tours are conducted individually by a member of the executive leadership team and usually take about 30-40 minutes.

We want you to get a feel for our school, and feel free to ask any questions that you may have about your child and our school to see whether it is the best fit for you and your child.
At the conclusion of the tour you will be given an information pack that complements what you have seen and heard on the tour.
