Open Events

We understand how important and daunting it can be to choose the right secondary school for your child. That's why we invite you to join us for one of our Open Events so that you can experience what The Skinners' Kent Academy can offer.

Academy Tours

During the tour you will be guided by one of our Senior Leadership Team who will give you the opportunity to see lessons in full swing and to experience Academy life on a normal working day.

Tour groups are restricted in size so that we can respond directly to questions and interests. Parents/Carers with or without their child are welcome on the tours.

If you have any questions, please contact admissions@skinnerskent.org.uk

Our Academy tours have now finished for the 2024/2025 Academic year. If you still wish to visit the Academy, please book on our Open Morning here.

Year 5 Secondary School Experience

Our anual Secondary School Experience runs during the Easter holidays and is open to all children currently in Year 5. The event gives students a first-hand experience of what life in a secondary school is like.

With a wide range of activities including Science and Maths Challenges, Drama and Music Workshops, Sports, Team Building and Art & Design, there's something for every child to enjoy.

Dates of our 2026 Year 5 Experience will be shared nearer the time.

Events for Primary Schools

The Skinners’ Kent Academy is delighted to offer local primary schools the opportunity to participate in two bespoke initiatives designed to support and enhance pupils’ educational journeys:

Year 5 Secondary School Experience Days

These days are designed to support pupils in preparing for the transition to secondary school. They provide a valuable opportunity for students to familiarise themselves with the secondary school environment, helping to build confidence and ease the transition from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3.

Year 3 and 4 Curriculum Learning Days

These sessions offer pupils the chance to engage in lessons that are specifically tailored to your school's curriculum needs. Delivered by experienced Academy teachers and making full use of our specialist facilities, these days allow Year 3 and 4 pupils to access resources and expertise that may not be readily available in a primary setting.

For further information about these initiatives, please see flyer here.
