Visitor Policy
All visitors to the School need to scan the QR code which is displayed at the Mint Yard Gate and at the Porters Lodge at St Augustine's. Visitors should wear a visitor lanyard at all times whilst on site. Lanyards are available at Mint Yard Gate.
Visiting During Term Time
OKS visitors during Term Time require a member of School staff to accompany them. No visitors shall be granted access unless by prior appointment or unless accompanied by a member of staff due to Safeguarding Regulations.
Visiting During the School Holidays
During the School holidays, exceptions can be made for OKS visitors to be granted access without being accompanied around the School grounds only.
Over the last few years, we have welcomed OKS visitors from all over the world! Take a look at the map below to see where our most recent visitors have travelled from.
