Open Days

The best way to experience Salesian College is in person, so we are offering an external guided tour of the College and a one to one meeting with the Headmaster or one of our Deputy Headteachers.  Each guided tour and meeting will be for one family only and will be socially distanced throughout.  All tours must be pre-booked by calling Mrs Reeve, Admissions Secretary on 01252 893000/admissions.

We ask that visitors over the age of 11 wear a face covering during the visit. If anyone in your household displays symptoms of Covid-19 please contact us to rearrange your tour.  Of course, our tours and meetings are subject to government advice and guidelines and we reserve the right to cancel or rearrange if circumstances change.

Parents or guardians may register their sons at any time but the preferred deadline is 19 November 2021.  Click here for more information. 

Boys may be admitted at other times provided that a vacancy exists.  Please contact Mrs Reeve, Admissions Secretary on 01252 893000 for details.

For entry at Year 7, the top 10% of all students, based on their performance in the Entrance Examination are offered an academic scholarship of 10% of annual tuition fees.

All students are encouraged to participate in a wide variety of clubs and societies including sports, drama, chess, computing, orchestra, choir, debating, public speaking, Young Enterprise and a whole variety of subject-based clubs and activities.

The College runs a number of coaches.  Information on the routes can be found here.

Salesian College is a Catholic school which welcomes applications from families of all faiths or none. We provide a Catholic Salesian education which we feel that students of all backgrounds will benefit from, enjoy and thrive.

All boys will be taught French and Spanish in Year 7 and maintain these subjects until the end of Year 9 when they become part of the Options process for GCSE.

Various elements of Design Technology are covered across our curriculum. Electronics features in the science and Physics areas, design within Art and many aspects of Electronics and Engineering are features of the very popular STEM clubs. Students can also opt for a design course in the Sixth Form Enrichment programme.
