Welcome to our
Pre-Prep Open Day

Usually, on days like this we would be welcoming you in person, and serving you refreshments from our award-winning catering team! Instead, we hope that you and your family are able to settle at home with a cup of tea, and enjoy everything that we have put together for you.

First, please watch our suite of introductory videos: a “Welcome to our Virtual Open Day” (immediately below this text), and then our “Introduction to Wells”, our “Introduction to the Pre-Prep”, and our “Virtual Tour of Pre-Prep” (all further down this page). You will also be able to find a number of other pre-recorded videos and image galleries to enjoy at your own pace.

Then, at 1.45pm, we invite you to join our live “Google Meet” session, with key staff. Please click on this link to join. If you have any questions at all, please email John Fosbrook, Director of Admissions, at [email protected].

This web page will stay live after the day is over until the end of November, so you can come back and visit us any time! Or you can email [email protected] if you have any questions at all.

That’s it! Just one final instruction from us: enjoy your day!

Welcome from the Head of the Pre-Prep, Rebecca Allen

Welcome from our Pre-Prep pupils

If you have any problems or questions at any time, please email us at [email protected]; we will be closely monitoring our emails and will be able to reply in real time. 

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.
