Visits to the school

‘Show rounds’ are currently running outside of school hours from 3:45pm-4:30pm with Sarah Edwards, our Admissions Officer (normally they run from 9:30am-10:15am). They are a fantastic opportunity to get an informal tour of the school’s facilities and a chance to ask any questions. We encourage parents/carers and their child/ren to attend. A place can be booked via reception at mailin@malmesbury.wilts.sch.uk.

Transport
