Visits and school tours

Please contact us to request a tour of our school. You may view an aerial tour of the entire in-town campus by visiting our location page.

Visitors and their families will be invited on a tour around our teaching buildings, boarding houses and surroundings. We also offer students and their families the opportunity to have a drive around the town and the local area to enable them to get a true sense of what life is like here, and visitors love to see our beautiful coastline which is a 5-minute walk from Earlscliffe. 

If students have specific requests for meetings with certain subject teachers, or to see specific facilities e.g. sports or creative arts, we are always happy to arrange these. We will also ensure that visiting students have the chance to meet and chat with some of our current students.
