Register for one of our upcoming Open Events by entering your details below.

Our events are a wonderful opportunity for you to meet us and to discover the world of opportunities a BGS education could bring to your child.

Our Open Mornings are more structured and held throughout the school year. These events give prospective parents an opportunity to meet the Headmaster and members of staff and see the school on a working day.

Our main Open Day takes place in early October. This is an informal day held on a Saturday from 10am to 2pm and gives prospective parents and children a fantastic insight into life at BGS. You would be shown around the school by one of our pupils, and staff would be on hand to answer your questions at any time during your visit. You would have the opportunity to look at our impressive facilities and get involved in the many activities we plan for you. Take a look at our latest Open Events video on the Join the BGS Family page.

Our Stay & Play taster sessions are an opportunity for potential parents and children aged 3-4 to come and experience life in our Reception class and meet some of our wonderful teachers.

You can, at any time, immerse yourself in all that BGS has to offer by accessing the 360° virtual tour of our Junior School, Senior School and Sixth Form.
