For Parents
Everything you need to start exploring 4+ school options for your child.
Who is this event for?
The 4+ Schools Showcase is designed for parents and families who are beginning to think about school options for children entering at age 4 and above. Whether you are just starting your research or already have a shortlist in mind, this event gives you the chance to meet schools, ask questions, and learn from specialists — all in one focused day.
What to expect
A simple, well-organised event built around what matters most to parents.
Meet schools face to face
Speak directly with admissions teams, heads of school, and teaching staff from leading 4+ schools. Ask the questions that matter to you in a relaxed, informal setting.
Expert talks and panels
Attend sessions on topics like choosing the right school, understanding admissions timelines, and preparing your child for the transition. Hear from education professionals and other parents.
Start your research early
Get ahead of the process by learning about your options well before application deadlines. Leave with a clearer picture of the schools that could be right for your family.
Why attend?
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child. The 4+ Schools Showcase brings everything together in one place so you do not have to attend multiple open days just to get a feel for your options.
At the showcase you can:
Compare schools side by side in a single visit. Ask questions directly to the people who run the schools. Attend talks from education specialists and experienced parents. Learn about admissions timelines, assessments, and what schools are really looking for. Take your time in a friendly, pressure-free environment.
Registration is completely free. By pre-registering, you will also receive updates about confirmed schools, speakers, and event details as they are announced.
What kind of schools will be there?
The showcase brings together a range of schools offering 4+ entry, including independent preparatory schools, pre-prep schools, and schools with early years programmes. You will be able to meet schools from across different areas and learn about their approach to education, class sizes, curriculum, and values.
We are confirming exhibitors now. Pre-register to be the first to know which schools will be attending.
Talks and panels are included
Every visitor to the showcase has access to our full programme of talks and panel discussions. These sessions cover topics that parents tell us matter most — from admissions advice to real experiences from other families.
