Open Days and Open Weeks

Our Senior School Open Evening is a great way for the whole family to learn more about us and the huge range of exciting learning experiences and opportunities that we offer our students as they begin their journey to GCSEs, A Levels and beyond.

  • Enjoy a hands-on experience of Embley where your child can get involved in experiments, performances and activities.
  • Find out more about the subjects your child is interested in.
  • Our Heads of Department, ably assisted by students, will show you how learning takes many forms at Embley.
  • Get all your questions answered; our Headmaster, Deputy Heads, Director of Studies, Heads of Year, Director of Sport and the Admissions Team will be available all evening.

Please note that the Headmaster does not provide a formal presentation at this event – for this, please book to attend one of our open mornings as well.
