A virtual tour of the school will also be available via a video link on each schools respective websites.

Chief Executive Officer of Pontefract Academies Trust, Julian Appleyard OBE said, “Open days are so important for potential students and parents to get a real understanding of what life will be like in their future school. They’re also a fantastic opportunity for the individual schools to showcase all the outstanding hard work that the current students have achieved, even during lockdown. In these unprecedented times it’s vitally important that we continue to connect with our future students and I’m delighted that we are able to make this happen and host these open days, albeit virtually.”
