We know that getting a feel for a school is an important part of the application process. We offer a range of opportunities for parents and students to visit us in the run up to the October admissions deadline. These include an Open Evening and group tours for Year 6 families. 

Open Evening – Thursday 17 September 2026

We are delighted to welcome prospective students and their families to our Open Evening on Thursday 17 September 2026, between 5pm and 8pm.

This is a great opportunity to experience life at Oxford Spires Academy. Our students will be available throughout the evening to lead guided tours, allowing visitors to explore our classrooms, take part in activities, and meet teachers and school leaders.

Headteacher Talks

During the Open Evening, Headteacher Louise Cowley will give talks at: 5.15pm, 6:30pm you do not need to book in advance.

If you would like to attend a talk and take a guided tour, please allow approximately 40 minutes either before or after your chosen talk time.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Consideration for our neighbours

We value our relationships with our local community and ask all visitors attending events at the Oxford Spires Academy to be mindful of our neighbours. Where possible, please travel by public transport. If you are driving, we kindly ask that you park away from the school and complete the final part of your journey on foot. Please note that there is only very limited parking available.

Thank you for your consideration and support.
