Your young person does not need to be accompanied for the Welcome Day, but feel free to join them on campus to chat to our support teams. They will be on hand to answer any questions you may have from 9.15am until 11am. After 11am parents/carers are asked to leave the site and come back to collect your young person at 3pm.
We recommend that you bring a packed lunch with you, but you can purchase lunch from our on site eating outlet if you wish. Please note, we do run a cashless campus.
Demand for Welcome Day places is high, so we ask that you please contact us at marketing@bishopburton.ac.uk or telephone 01522 304600 if, for any reason, you are unable to attend.
