School & Nursery Tours

 

We do not currently offer an Open Day for prospective parents.  Instead, we can offer a tour of the school during the school day to best allow you to see how we operate on a normal day.

 

These tours are information packed and aimed at prospective parents.  They are not ideal for children to attend, if you can make other arrangements.  Children will have specific dates to visit and see the school once places are offered.

 

If you would like to attend a tour on one of the following dates, please contact Sharon Thomas on 01902 850373 or email s-thomas@penkvalley.co.uk to be added to the attendance list or to arrange an alternative date & time.
