What to Expect at a Cheltenham Prep Open Morning

Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision, and there’s no better way to get a feel for a school than by visiting in person. At Cheltenham Prep, our Open Mornings give families the opportunity to explore our school, meet our staff and pupils, and see what makes our community so special.

A Warm Welcome

When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by our Prep Admissions Team before being paired with one of our friendly pupil tour guides. They’ll show you around the school and share what life at Cheltenham Prep is really like from a pupil’s perspective.

Explore Our School

Your tour will take you through our classrooms and outstanding facilities, from The Nursery School through to Year 8. Along the way, you’ll meet teachers and Heads of Section, who will be on hand to answer your questions and explain how children learn and develop at each stage of their journey.

Ask Questions

Whether you’d like to know more about the curriculum, pastoral care, co-curricular opportunities or a particular subject, our teachers are always happy to help. Our Admissions Team will also take the time to understand your child’s interests and ensure your visit gives you the information you need to make the right decision for your family.

Meet the Head

You’ll also have the opportunity to meet the Head, Tom O’Sullivan, and hear more about the values, ethos and opportunities that make Cheltenham Prep such a happy and inspiring place to learn.

Join Our Next Open Morning

If you’d like to experience Cheltenham Prep for yourself, we’d love to welcome you to our next Open Morning on Saturday 26 September 2026.

If you have any questions or would like to find out more before your visit, please contact our Admissions Team at prepadmissions@cheltenhamcollege.org

For families looking ahead to the next stage of their child’s education, there is also the opportunity to arrange a tour of Cheltenham College during your visit, giving you the chance to explore the journey from Prep through to Sixth Form.
