Open Day
Our Open Day for 2027 entry will take place on Saturday 31 October 2026, 9:00am – 3:00pm.
Our Open Day is the ideal opportunity for prospective students and their parents/carers to discover what makes WQE such a popular choice for ambitious young people.
Explore the subjects that inspire you by speaking with our specialist teachers, who will provide valuable insight into our highly regarded courses, innovative teaching approaches, and the opportunities available to help you achieve your goals.
You’ll also have the chance to meet current students and hear first-hand about their experiences, explore our outstanding facilities, and learn more about the wide range of academic, enrichment, progression, and support opportunities on offer.
Whether you’re already planning your next steps or just beginning to consider your options, our Open Day will give you the information, confidence, and inspiration you need to make the right choice for your future.
We look forward to welcoming you to WQE and helping you discover where your potential could take you.
