Open Morning – 14 May 2025

You’re warmly invited to our Open Morning for Reception to Year 5 pupils

Are you looking for an independent prep school for you child? If you’re exploring options and want to apply for Reception to Year 5, we’d love to meet you at our forthcoming Open Morning. Come along to see the school in action, hear from our Headmaster, Mr Sam Gosden, and meet our Year 6 pupils as they show you around the school on a tour.

  • Date: Wednesday 14 May
  • Time: 9.30am – 11.30am
What happens at the Open Morning?

You’re welcome to join us for tea, coffee and refreshments in the dining hall from 9.30am, when you will also meet our Headmaster, Mr Sam Gosden, who’ll chat with you about life at The Mall.

Meet our School Captains, then have a tour of our outstanding facilities with current Year 6 pupils, who’ll be delighted to show off the school!

You’ll return to the dining hall when you can ask any questions about the admissions process, school life, after school clubs and wrap-around care, the school minibus routes, the benefits of choosing us and the curriculum – we’ll answer anything you’d like to know more about.

Why choose The Mall School?
  • We’re a non-selective school at Reception and our children make incredible academic progress from their initial entry
  • We send children on to the best independent senior and state grammar schools in the area and surrounding counties
  • Children who join us mid-way through their schooling settle into school life incredibly well, adapt and respond to our curriculum with close support from teachers and fellow pupils
  • Pupils benefit from a rich curriculum, outstanding facilities, close family feel and experienced, long-standing staff 
  • We have a heated swimming pool on-site, enabling children of all ages to flourish in the water.  Reception children have a weekly swimming lesson, which builds their confidence in the water, alongside a PE lesson each week too
  • Our 150-seat theatre allows your children to thrive on the stage
  • Our art and design studios help your children to unleash their creativity, and they can also excel musically with a range of instruments in our marvellous music department!
  • We offer an extended day from 7.30am until 6.00pm. Pupils can eat their breakfast at school and when the school day ends, they can enjoy numerous clubs and activities or join our after-school care programme 
  • Trips and experiences play an important part in your child’s education. Pupils in Reception have enjoyed trips to award-winning Bocketts Farm and world-famous Kew Gardens in recent years. Pupils in Years 5 and 6 enjoy residential stays of two nights in the spring / summer terms.  The school also takes pupils to Northern France and on exhilarating ski trips, amongst many others
  • The Mall values of being kind, polite, honest, caring and always doing our best are nurtured throughout the school. We encourage all children to challenge themselves to be the best they can be.

We look forward to meeting you. To book your place, please complete the form below:
