Hi all,
We have unfortunately missed the open day of Wilson's,
Is it possible to request a school tour before CAF.
Like QE boys do they invite for a visit?

Ring the school. when my DS sat the 11+ there was an unofficial tour for parents before the CAF deadline.
Its worth contacting the school .

That is brilliant info. We missed out as well. Didn't realise until much later that the open day had come and gone. I too will call the school. Thank you.

Just called Wilson's. They said it is unlikely that they would do any school tours now. If DS is offered a place, then they might do one afterwards. At the moment, it is a no.

sorry I meant after the second round results are released and before the CAF deadline. The aim is to help undecided parents to rank Wilson's above other preferences. Again its unofficial so you need to call the school after the results are released. good luck

My son got into Wilson's but we had stupidly missed the open day as, at that time, we felt it was too far away. Once he was offered a place they put on a special visit for us and other parents who had made the same mistake (but we had to ask). We got to see the school during a normal working day and it was wonderful. In short, if you can't see it now, once you get an offer they may well let you have a look around.
