Read MoreExperience Rookwood
The best way to find out more about Rookwood School is to experience it for yourself. We offer Open Days throughout the year as well as Taster Days for potential pupils to experience what life at Rookwood would be like for themselves. These are offered both on an individual basis or as a group.
We would also be happy to arrange a tour of the independent school on a day that suits you and offer 1:1 appointments to meet our Headteacher directly.
Open Events
Our next School Open Morning is taking place from 09.00 – 11.00 on Thursday 15th May 2025. Book your place.
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.
Each year, we run a series of Taster Days for pupils interested in joining Rookwood School into Year 7. Please see below for details about each event
- Year 7 2026 Entry Taster Day: May. 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!
- Year 7 2026 Entry Taster Day: November.
Family Day
Rookwood School’s Family Day is when the whole Rookwood Family gather to celebrate the school’s successes that academic year. We have limited spaces for external families to join us by invitation only. Please register your interest for our next Family Day.
1:1 meetings with the Head
If our Open Mornings are not convenient for you, then we are happy to offer 1:1 meetings with our Headteacher, Mr Paul Robinson, at a time that suits you. Please get in touch with us to arrange this.
