Thinking about the next step in your child's education? Come and get to know us over a drink!

Choosing the right school is a big decision, and sometimes the best way to find out if somewhere feels right is simply to come along and have a chat.

Austin Friars is inviting families to join us for Friars After Hours, a series of relaxed, informal evenings taking place in Dumfries, Penrith and Carlisle this November and December.

Whether you've been considering Austin Friars for some time or are just discovering us, these evenings are an opportunity to meet our friendly staff and current parents, ask questions and find out more about what life at Austin Friars has to offer.

Enjoy a complimentary drink on us while chatting with members of our school community and discovering what makes Austin Friars special. There's no formal presentation or pressure, just a chance to get to know us, hear about the experiences of our families and explore whether Austin Friars could be the right fit for your child.

With pupils aged 3 to 18, we offer a well-rounded education built around individual support, a wealth of opportunities and a community where every child is known and encouraged to fulfil their potential.

Join us at one of our upcoming evenings:

Dumfries
Wednesday 18 November | 6.30pm–8.30pm
Hetland Hall Hotel, DG1 4JX

Penrith
Wednesday 25 November | 6.30pm–8.30pm

Everyone is welcome, whether you're an existing Austin Friars family, have considered the school previously or are simply curious to find out more.

We'd love to meet you!
