Tours & Open Days

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 about each event

• Year 7 2026 Entry Taster Day on Thursday 16th October 2025. During this visit, pupils spend the day as a Rookwood pupil, getting a real taste of the curriculum and classroom environment. As part of the day, they complete baseline assessments in reading and maths. These are not used for selection, but rather to give us a clear picture of each child’s current level so we can best support them from the outset. Places can be booked here.
• Year 7 2027 Entry Taster Day in May 2026. 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!

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.
