We look forward to welcoming you to our school and offer a variety of options to help you get to know us and explore what we do. |
Before selecting your visit choices please sure you are on our enquiry list.
There are two open mornings a year and these are held on a Saturday, one in October and one in June. Please feel free to bring your daughter and other members of your family who are interested in the future she might enjoy at St Swithun’s. Your visit will include a presentation from headmistress Jane Gandee, deputy head academic Charlie Hammel and deputy head pastoral Graham Yates.
During the morning you will go on a self-guided tour and have the opportunity to participate in subject activities and chat with current pupils, teaching and pastoral staff, the headmistress, the admissions team and the school chaplain. Senior-school tours include the boarding houses if appropriate and the day will last approximately two hours.
A waiting list is always in operation for open mornings so we will be in touch with you nearer the date of the event for you to confirm details of your party and that you would still like your place.

Saturday 21 June 2025, 9.00am
