Small group tours

The prospect of joining a new school alongside friends can influence a family's decision-making process. Choosing the right school is about having a sense of belonging and your child being able to see themselves at the school with friends and a wider community. 

Alongside our open mornings and individual visits, we can also offer small group tours for friendship groups and their parents. These visits provide a relaxed and shared experience, allowing children to explore Embley together and begin to picture their future as part of our community. Please contact our Admissions team (admissions@embley.org.uk) to discuss further and to arrange a small group tour. 

Personalised tours

For families who are unable to attend one of the open events listed, or for those moving into the area or looking at a more immediate start, we can offer individual tours of our Nursery & Pre-School, Prep, Senior School and Sixth Form at a time that suits your family.
