A Senior School Experience Day is a great way for your child to experience Oratory Life with a small group of potential pupils also interested in joining the school. Your child will have the opportunity to meet with current pupils of all ages, take a tour of our boarding houses and partake in taster lessons and sport.
Personal Tours
We would be proud to show you round the school and offer private tours every day during term time. We would also be happy to arrange a meeting with the Head Master if you prefer.
A private visit will include a tour of one of our Boarding Houses with a Housemaster, and a tour of the classrooms and Sports Centre with one of our pupils. Staff and pupils would be delighted to answer any questions you may have. At the end of the tour the Head Master will welcome you to his study to discuss any further questions.
Please make any specific requests known when you book in for a personal tour. We advise that you make an appointment well in advance.

Individual Taster Days
If you have attended one of our Open Mornings and/or been on one of our Personal Tours, then an Individual Taster Day is the next step in our Admissions process following Registration. It is a bespoke experience day tailored to your son or daughter's specific interests, where they will be buddied with one of our pupils. These days are arranged at a convenient time for you and your family during the school term.
