Open Days & Tours
Next Open Day – Saturday 19 September 2026
Visiting a school is an important part of the decision-making process for families who are shortlisting schools for admissions applications. Families are warmly encouraged to visit Blackheath Prep to meet the Head, teaching staff and Admissions team, and enjoy a tour of our school and facilities to get a sense of what it is like to be part of the Blackheath Prep community.
We offer two key opportunities to visit: our Saturday Family Open Days, held twice a year, and our regular Group Tours. Full details are below. Please note that spaces at both Open Days and Group Tours are limited and early booking is highly recommended.
*Applications are now open for Nursery entry in January (closing date: 21 September 2026) and September 2027, as well as for Prep (7+ and occasional vacancies). We also have very limited availability in Years 3 & 4 for September 2026 entry. Find out more.
Open Days
We hold a Saturday Open Day in both the Autumn and Summer terms for prospective families. Parents and children will have the opportunity to hear our Head talk about the school, meet staff, pupils and our Parents’ Association, as well as tour our extensive grounds and see the academic and co-curricular facilities.
Our next Open Day is Saturday 19 September 2026 and will run from 9am until 1pm. We offer two sessions: one commencing at 9am, the second at 11.15am. When you book, you will be asked to choose your preferred start time; we also ask you kindly to share details of whether you are looking primarily for a Nursery, Pre-Prep or Prep place.
We look forward to meeting you!
Group Tours
Wednesday mornings 9.15am – 10.45am
We offer group tours of the school for prospective parents once a month during term-time. These tours provide an opportunity to visit us on a working school day, and to ask questions about the school and our admissions process prior to or after registering your child. During the visit there will be a short presentation from a member of the senior leadership team before a guided tour to experience the whole school at work, from Nursery through to Year 6.
These tours are for parents and carers only. During the Autumn term, places on Wednesday tours are only available to parents who are applying for a place in the next 3+ and 7+ intake.
Virtual Tour
Take a virtual tour around the school with our interactive map to view 360 degree photos of the school and facilities, and watch videos from our Head and Senior Leadership Team.
