Your young person does not need to be accompanied on Welcome Day. However, you are welcome to come onto campus and speak with our support teams from 9:30am until 10:30am in the LRC.
Parents and carers are then asked to leave the site by 10:30am, and return at 3:30pm to collect their young person.
In the event you arrive late to pick up your child, they will be waiting on the ground floor of the Health and Nutrition building.
We recommend that you bring a packed lunch with you, but you can purchase lunch from our on site eating outlet if you wish. Please note, we do run a cashless campus.
Demand for Welcome Day places is high, so we ask that you please contact us at marketing@bishopburton.ac.uk or telephone 01522 304600 if, for any reason, you are unable to attend.
