We recommend that prospective students and parents visit on our Open Evening to enjoy the full experience of what Darrick Wood School has to offer. However, we understand that this may not be possible for everyone. If your child will be in Year 6 in September 2026, then we are offering three mornings where there will be a basic tour of the School around the corridors for you and your child. This is on a first come, first served basis. If you would like to book an appointment, please telephone the School Office on 01689 850271.

Please do not book this appointment if you are going to the Open Evening. The morning appointments are strictly reserved for those that are unable to attend as we have limited spaces.
