Reception Admissions
We understand how important it is for families to feel supported when making key decisions about choosing a school for their children. During the autumn term, we offer a range of events, including Open Evenings, Personalised Tours, and Application Workshops, that give families the opportunity to explore our wonderful school, meet our inspirational staff, and discover first‑hand what makes Mowden so special. Follow us on social media and keep an eye on our website for dates and further information.
