COMING TO OUR OPEN EVENING?

News overview

On Thursday we’ll be welcoming another 550 prospective new students and their families to our second Open Evening of the academic year.

Please remember to bring your scannable ticket with you either as a printed copy or on an electronic device so we can scan you in on arrival.

Please enter via the main entrance to the College, through Reception, where you will be scanned in on arrival. Once you’re signed in, you’ll be able to head through Coopers’ Hall, where there will be student ambassadors on hand to guide you to the area that you would like to visit.

There are four Senior Leadership Presentation talks on the night at 4.45pm, 5.15pm, 5.45pm and 6.15pm in the Sports Hall. We encourage you to time your arrival around these talk times, so the number of visitors is more evenly spread.

Due to the volume of visitors for the Open Evening, there will be limited on-site parking. The car park is accessed via Strode’s College Lane. Where possible, we recommend using one of the nearby public car parks. There are two by the Library, one at Tesco, and one at Waitrose. These are all pay and display and are close by to the College.

On the night, you will be able to tour the campus, and meet our teachers in each subject’s dedicated learning spaces. Speak to them to find out more about your course options, and to answer questions you may have.

You will also be able to learn about student life and extra-curricular activities from our brilliant student ambassadors, or speak to one of our student support team to find out more information about additional learning support and the A*spire stretch and challenge programme.

We are a proud TASS accredited college, which allows us to give talented athletes the opportunity to combine academic excellence with elite performance support. TASS (Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme) is a Sport England funded partnership between talented athletes, education institutions and national governing bodies of sport. Come and visit our Sports department on the day to find out more!

The Admissions team will be there on the night for you to apply to Strode’s College.
