Open Days

We hold regular open days and evenings for prospective Year 7 and Year 12 pupils and their parents to visit the school and hear from senior staff, teachers and current students about life and study at Sir Thomas Rich’s.

Online registration goes live around four weeks before an open day date, but please be assured that we don’t limit numbers unnecessarily and will always try and accommodate your preferred date/time to attend.

Our next scheduled dates are below, and you are also very welcome to contact admissions@strs.org.uk if you would like to arrange an individual visit and tour of the School at another time.

Our next Sixth Form Open Evening takes place on Thursday 29 January 2026.

The current version of the Sixth Form Prospectus is available in the Sixth Form section of the website, along with more information about studying in the Sixth Form at Rich's. An updated version of the Prospectus for 2026 entry will be available online late January 2026.

Our Open Evening is always extremely popular and we request your assistance in ensuring that the event runs smoothly with minimal disruption to visitors and local residents. We have limited on-site parking and respectfully request that only the prospective student and up to 2 family members attend, if possible. We will be in touch nearer the event with further details about parking, along with information about car sharing or use of public transport to help ease congestion.

During the Open Evening, there will be two bookable sessions, each of which will involve a short talk from key staff, followed by the opportunity to tour the School.

If you would like to attend one of our Open Evening sessions, you must register below. You should only book onto one of these sessions:

Session 1: 5.15pm – Please aim to arrive from 4.45pm to allow time to park and make your way to the Hall for a welcome talk. This will take no more than 20 minutes and you will then be welcome to tour the School and meet our staff and students. Please endeavour to finish your tour by 6.45pm to allow those in the next session to arrive and park, and to reduce congestion.

Session 2: 7.30pm - Please arrive from 7.00pm to allow time to park and make your way to the Hall for a welcome talk. This will take no more than 20 minutes and you will then be welcome to tour the School and meet our staff and students.

Further information about our Open Evening, including visitor guidance, will be sent nearer the time to the email address supplied when you register.
