About our Open Day
Our most recent Virtual Open Day went out live on Saturday 6 March, and we were delighted to welcome families from around the world.
We have now updated this web page with all of the content that we broadcast live on the day, so that you and your family can settle at home with a cup of tea, and enjoy everything that we have put together for you.
Below, you can find links to recordings of our live Q&A, as well as a number of pre-recorded videos and image galleries for you to enjoy at your own pace. This web page will stay live until 7th May, so you can come back and visit us whenever you want to. If you feel like you are missing out on anything, please don’t worry! Contact our admissions team, and they will be very pleased to arrange an online meeting for another day.
If you have any problems or questions at any time, please email us at [email protected]
We do hope that you enjoy our Virtual Open Day, and that you will be inspired to join us in person at some point in the future.
