The Skipton Academy

The Skipton Academy, located on Gargrave Road in Skipton, North Yorkshire, is a mixed-gender, secondary academy sponsor led institution catering to students aged 11 to 16. It serves a community that is both urban and rural, given its proximity to the Yorkshire Dales. The academy currently enrolls approximately 658 students, though it has the capacity to accommodate 835. Notably, it does not have a sixth form. Despite its capacity, the school maintains a close-knit community feel, reflecting its values of 'belong, challenge, inspire.' The academy is non-selective in its admissions policy, striving to provide quality education that is accessible to all children in the surrounding areas.
