If you’re researching private schools in Yorkshire as a prospective parent, then Open Day events are a great way to get a much better insight than just reading the prospectus. It’s an ideal chance to see the facilities, meet the staff and get a feel for the school culture and outlook.
Open Days are arranged at many of the best independent schools in Yorkshire, usually several times a year. We’ve rounded up the next open days scheduled, virtual tours and virtual open mornings. There’s a guide to upcoming Cheshire private school open days too.
