Taster Days

If you’ve decided that you would like to consider Rookwood School for your child, we would love to offer a Taster Day. Our Taster Days give your child the chance to see what it would be like to be part of the Rookwood family and experience the school, meet staff and interact with their fellow pupils for themselves. Please register your interest for future Taster Days.

TASTER DAYS

Each year, we run a series of Taster Days for pupils interested in joining Rookwood School into Year 7. Please see below for details and the link to sign up.

  • Year 7 2026 Entry Taster Day: Friday 2nd May (9am – 4pm). The day is designed to help pupils familiarise themselves with the school layout, building, staff, and their peers in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Highlights include interactive team-building activities and an engaging challenge in the afternoon. Please note, there are no formal assessments or lessons—just a day focused on settling in and having fun! Places can be booked here.
