Open Days
Picking the right school for your child is a difficult decision; we recommend that you visit Bancroft’s with your child to get a real feeling for what life is like here. Our Open Mornings and Evenings give you the chance to meet staff and pupils as well as to see our fantastic facilities. If you are registering your child to sit an entrance examination, we strongly recommend that you and your child visit Bancroft’s on an Open Morning or Evening before they sit the exam.
Usually we hold Open Days during the summer and autumn terms; sadly our Open Days for entry September 2021 have been impacted by current recommendations for social distancing due to COVID-19. Current Government guidelines and social distancing needs mean that we need to revise plans for all of our autumn term events for 2021 entry.
We are in the process of finalising our programme of admissions events for the autumn; all changes and additions to our programme will be posted here.
7+ Entry
We had hoped to welcome prospective parents and children to the Prep School on Saturday 10 October 2020 for an Open Day. Instead, we are offering telephone Q&A sessions throughout October when key members of our management team will be delighted to answer any questions about our school and the admissions process. To request your call please email us at prep.office@bancrofts.org. Please include your preferred telephone contact details, together with your child’s name and date of birth, and we will be in touch with you during October.
