Visiting Old Buckenham Hall
Prospective parents visit OBH either for an individual tour or attending one of our Open Mornings. These are held at various points throughout the school year, usually on a Saturday morning. They are a chance to see the school at work rather than on show. There is an opportunity to meet staff and the Headmaster will give a short presentation before you will be shown around by pupils and staff.
