Open Evening

Friday 1 October 2027, 6.00pm–8.30pm

Our annual Open Evening is the perfect opportunity to experience life at King Edward's firsthand. Meet our pupils and staff, explore our outstanding facilities, and discover what makes our school such a vibrant and inspiring place to learn.

Throughout the evening, visitors can watch sports fixtures, performing arts rehearsals and music ensembles, explore a wide range of academic departments, and speak with representatives from our many clubs and societies. From science demonstrations and debating activities to sport under the floodlights, Open Evening offers a unique opportunity to experience the energy, ambition and community that define life at King Edward's.

During the evening there will be two opportunities to hear from the Head in the Dobson Theatre. Once you have completed the registration form below, our Admissions Team will contact you with further details, including how to book your free tickets and select your preferred presentation time.

If you are unable to attend our Open Evening, we would still be delighted to welcome you to the school at another time. We offer a range of opportunities to visit throughout the year, including Taster Mornings and individual visits. Learn more about alternative ways to visit.
