Open Days
Dates of Open Days
Most independent schools in Scotland hold an annual Open Day (or Open Morning or Open Evening) in September, October or November, although some schools now also hold events at other times during the year. Visitors are also welcome, by appointment, during term time, to see the school "at work". Appointments can be made with the Admissions Secretary or Registrar of each school.
The dates of Open Days taking place in the school year 2010-2011, where known, are listed in the PDF on the right. Further details are available from individual schools.
Please note that Open Days usually follow a structured programme including a talk, information sessions and a tour. They are not usually ‘drop-in' events so visitors are asked to arrive at the published start time. Precise dates and times are published on individual school websites.
Increasingly, schools now also organise family fun days, often around June, which provide an informal opportunity to experience the school community atmosphere.
