Global Academy Open Morning

Join us for an exclusive Open Morning at Global Academy, hosted by our Principal, James Murray-Walsh. This is a unique opportunity to tour our school during the school day, meet staff, and experience our vibrant learning environment firsthand.

Open Mornings are not Open Events – they are exclusive, small-group tours that take place during the school day and last around one hour.

Details:

Time: 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM

Group Size: Tours are limited to 20 families per session to ensure a personal experience

Location: Global Academy, 1 Record Walk, Hayes, UB3 1DH

Important Information:

Open Mornings are reserved for applicants who cannot attend a main Open Event.

Remember to note your booking date and time.

For any questions before the event, please contact admissions@globalacademy.com.

Spaces are limited, so book early to secure your place and see what makes Global Academy a special place to learn!

We have two Open Mornings in December when prospective applicants can visit lessons and see the school as it is on a working day.  

For students who apply to OPGS Sixth Form, there are two Taster Days in June/July. Students will follow a Sixth Form timetable in their chosen subjects and meet their future classmates and teachers. In 2025, prospective students were given the opportunity to spend the second day in a university setting and work on a small project to sharpen their skills and build relationships before joining us in September.
