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.
