About this event

  • Event lasts 6 hours 15 minutes

Summer Fair: Wednesday, May 21st, 2025

The Summer Fair is your opportunity to explore independent education options for your child with a particular focus on 11+, ISEB exams, and the senior school transition.

Designed to support parents in London, this event brings together leading independent schools, expert educational thinkers, and respected headteachers. It offers a rare chance for parents to have in-depth, face-to-face discussions with senior admissions staff and headteachers—discussions that are often difficult to fit into the brief group tours at open days.

What to Expect:

  • Engage with admissions teams and school leaders about finding the right school for your child.
  • Attend expert-led talks and book one-to-one consultations with top educationalists to assess your child's needs.
  • Learn more about boarding options, decide at what age to board, and get expert advice on preparing for admissions tests and interviews.

Venue: The Royal Horticultural Halls, Lindley Hall and Lawrence Hall, 80 Vincent Square, London, SW1P 2PB
Time: 09:15 – 15:30

Join us at the Summer Fair to make confident decisions about your child's educational future.
