Sixth Form
Welcome to the Year 12 Open Evening which is being held on Tuesday 3 December 2024 between 4pm and 6.30pm
An Open Event is a great way for you to learn more about the Skegness Academy Sixth Form and discover whether it's the right place for you to continue your education. Take a tour of the Academy for a sense of what it's like to study here, see the facilities and check out the social and study spaces. As you'll be spending a lot of time here over the next few years, it's critical that you can imagine yourself in the environment.
Teachers will be present to talk to you and your parents about the details of the courses, entry requirements, what the assessments include and progression options.
Hear directly from our current students about what life is really like at the Skegness Academy Sixth Form. Our Presidents, Chair, Deputy Chair and Ambassadors will be ready to answer any questions and take you through a day in the life of a student.
You will be able to explore the site, check out the facilities and get a flavour of the life at the Skegness Academy.
