Open Day events are larger events for groups of families. Tours are for individual families or small groups of families.

Block holidays

  1. Select Holiday Calendar to see the calendar of holidays and other times you want to block events.

  2. From the dropdown menu, choose the programme you want to block events for.

  3. Select the dates to block. Days marked as holidays show in blue, and events are not offered on them.

  4. When you have added holidays for all programmes, select Save.

Let parents book a tour without a password

If you want parents to sign up for a tour or open day without creating an account, ask Support to switch off the password on the form. Parents then only give their email address, and they receive a different welcome email. You can edit that email in Settings > Admissions > Status & Notifications.
