Whole School Open Evening - Thursday 24 September 2026, 6-8pm 

Our Open Events are without doubt the best way to experience everything Ralph Allen School can offer your child. You will have the opportunity to meet staff, learn more about our outstanding pastoral care and facilities, and experience the unique atmosphere that creates equally unique individuals.

Please sign up to the event here. 

Please note that we do not offer individual tours of the school outside of our Open Evening.

Following the Open Evening, we will offer a limited number of smaller group tours specifically for Year 6 students. These tours will take place during the week following the Open Evening and must be booked through your child’s school.

Parents and carers will not be able to book these tours directly with the school.

The dates and further details for the Year 6 group tours will be published on this page shortly.
