Prep - Reception to Year 8

Visit Our Open Morning

Our Open Mornings are designed to be relaxed and informal, giving families time to explore the campus with a student guide. This allows you to gain a genuine insight into our culture and ethos with opportunities to chat with our staff along the way. The morning concludes with refreshments and the chance to meet and speak with our senior leadership team.

Attend a Discovery Session, Taster Day or Experience Day

Children wishing to join Reception are invited to our Seaford Discovery Sessions. Your little ones are invited to join our Owl Class for a taste of the fun ahead, whether that’s getting creative in Art, moving and grooving in Dance and Music, exploring the great outdoors at Forest School, or jumping into a lively Games session.

For entry for Year 1 to Year 6, we welcome your child to our Prep School for a Taster Day where they join students in their current year group and participate in lessons and activities.

For entry into Year 7, we invite students to visit on one of two Seaford Experience Days where they will take part in a fun and action-packed day and meet some of our current students.

We use reports and references to ascertain not only whether your child will be able to access the curriculum, but whether they will be happy in the Seaford College environment.
