Vandyke Upper School Open Evening
Thursday 2nd October 2025
Vandyke Upper School Open Mornings: Monday 6th – Friday 17th October
It was a pleasure to welcome so many students, parents and carers to our Open Evening on Thursday 2nd October.
Visitors enjoyed the opportunity to tour the school, meet staff and students, watch demonstrations and hear a short presentation by the Headteacher in the theatre.
We are now hosting a number of Open Mornings, which allow students, parents and carers to see the school in action on a normal working day. Tours are taking place every morning from Monday 6th – Friday 17th October, beginning at 9.15am and 10.15am. There is no need to book, but please arrive ten minutes before your chosen time slot.
If you are unable to attend one of our Open Mornings, please contact the school office, and we will advise you of other dates when tours will be available.
Vandyke is heavily over-subscribed, so it is important to submit your application before the deadline of 31st October 2025. Central Bedfordshire Council residents should apply using this online application form, and non-CBC applicants should apply through their local council.
