OPEN DAY & EVENING (online feedback, please click here) 

Woodkirk Academy opened its doors to prospective Year 7 students for September 2024, at their most recent open event. 

Families were treated to an insight into Academy life, with current students giving the audience a glimpse into their views on their time at the Academy including the Head students and current Year 7 students. The students spoke of their pride as students of Woodkirk Academy and welcomed all who had taken the time to visit their school  

In the evening, nearly 200 current Yr7 students, who have only been at the school for five weeks, were fully prepared to guide around school prospective parents and students. Principal, Mr Tim Jones, said “What an exceptional evening. Thank you to all the staff and students for showcasing our Academy at its very best. Together we have ensured that the vision of the Academy, ‘Be The Best You Can Be’ was highly evident throughout the evening. 

Mr Jones would also like to say a particular thank you to the students who presented on the evening; they were, quite simply, stunning.

If you missed out, please don't worry! You can watch this video which takes you on a tour of the Academy - CLICK HERE.

The deadline for applications for a Year 7 place next September (2024) is 31 October 2023 and National Offer Day is Friday 1st March.
