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 the entrance examinations, we strongly recommend that you and your child visit Bancroft’s on an Open Morning/Evening before they sit the exam.

We hold Open Days during the summer and autumn terms and full details are published here.  Our programme for Open Days for entry in September 2020 is shown below.

The Head will speak only once at the start of each event, so please arrive promptly at the times given above.  Information packs are available at each event. When planning your journey, please bear in mind that parking on the School site is limited and you may need to allow extra time to find suitable parking.  It is not necessary to book for our Open Events.

11+ Open Morning & resumption of Minibus service

On Saturday 16 November, we are holding our final 11+ Open Morning for entry to Bancroft’s in September 2020.  Refreshments will be served from 9.30am onwards before introductory talks at 10am.  Pupil led tours will follow and there will be plenty of chances to talk to staff.  We look forward to meeting you on Saturday.

We are pleased to advise you that the roadworks directly outside the school have now concluded and the resulting traffic congestion has therefore eased. As a result we will be restoring the Loughton Minibus Service to it’s normal time with immediate effect, from Wednesday 13th November onwards it will be in the Sainsbury’s Car Park at Loughton Station from 7.45am and will depart promptly at 8am.
