Our Rising Year 7 Tours took place on Tuesday, 6 October and Thursday, 8 October 2026.  There were two sets of student-led tours on each of these dates, one leaving at 9:15am and one at 10:15am. 

Priority was be given to Year 6 students and their parents/carers as the deadline for their secondary school allocation is the end of October 2026.  As the tours took place on a working school day, places are limited to 3 per party (except where Year 6 students are multiple births, where you will be able to book 4 or 5 places accordingly).
