Open Evening 2026
At Crookhorn College we understand that the decision about which school your child chooses to attend in September is one of the biggest decisions you will make as a family. Therefore, we want to provide you with as much useful information as we can, to ensure you are able to make an informed decision.
Our Open Evening this year took place on:
Tuesday 15th September 2026
5.45pm - 8.30pm
“Thank you so much to all the parents and children who visited Crookhorn College this evening. Without doubt, it was our busiest and most exciting Open Evening to date.
As I said in my speech, it is both a privilege and a pleasure for the staff at Crookhorn to work with the young people of today. We are incredibly proud of our students, and we are thrilled to be welcoming the next members of the Crookhorn family.
I would also like to thank all the staff who contributed to making tonight such a memorable experience and such a tremendous success.
I couldn't be more proud of our College community!”
Headteacher’s talk at 6.00pm, 7.00pm and 7.30pm with an opportunity to speak to the Headteacher and the Senior Leadership Team afterwards.
Our Open Evening is a very popular and key event for giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the unique ethos that makes Crookhorn stand out against other local secondary schools and has once again resulted in us being a heavily oversubscribed College for many years.
You will have the opportunity to hear from our Headteacher about her vision for education at Crookhorn and from our Head Boy / Head Girl about what it’s like to be a student at the College.
The majority of your evening will, however, be spent visiting all areas of the College to find out about the full breadth of subjects and educational experiences that are on offer to your child if they attend Crookhorn.
Our prefects are on hand to give you a personalised tour, or you are more than welcome to follow our clear signage and work your way around the College at your own pace.
Booking a Tour of the college
Whilst Open Evening is a fantastic experience, we do also offer personalised tours during a normal College day - so that you can really see and understand what the learning experience at Crookhorn is all about.
We are delighted to be able to welcome families and pupils to come for a tour of the College. If you did not manage to attend our Open Evening, this is a great chance for you to visit our College during the school day.
As well as our Open Event in September and our College tours, we have a range of virtual Open Evening content that is available to view below. This includes our welcome video and College Prospectus.
