LAST FEW PLACES REMAINING FOR SEPTEMBER 2025
If you are considering an independent education for your child, we would love to welcome you for a Reception taster day!
At Ghyll Royd, children benefit from small class sizes and specialist teaching in a caring and stimulating environment. Book a taster day and see why we were rated ‘Excellent’ by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (October 2022).
View our facilities, meet our staff and speak with current pupils and parents to get a real feel for life here at Ghyll Royd. Your child will enjoy Art, Music and more during our Reception taster days. We will be running the sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays all through the Summer term.
You can call us directly on 01943 865575 or fill in the contact form below.
