We are delighted to invite prospective Year 5 and 6 students and their families to our Open Evening on Thursday 25 September 2025, from 5.00pm to 7.00pm.
Choosing the right secondary school is a significant decision, and we understand how important it is to find the best fit for your child’s future success. At Stokesley School, we are proud to offer a rich and supportive environment where students thrive both academically and personally which includes:
- “High expectations from leaders and all staff are the norm at Stokesley School. These are reflected simply in the school’s motto: ‘Being the best we can be’. Pupils know that this is the minimum expectation of them” (Oftsed 2022).
- A positive, friendly and nurturing environment: Positive conduct is at the heart of our culture and our students “benefit from excellent pastoral care” (Ofsted 2022).
- A dynamic and inclusive curriculum: Carefully designed to challenge and support all learners, the curriculum combines academic rigour with flexibility. Students select up to four GCSE subjects alongside core studies in English, Maths, and Science—available as either triple or double award—ensuring both breadth and depth in their education.
- Enriching personal development: Students have weekly opportunities to build a diverse portfolio of experiences and skills through a wide range of extracurricular clubs. Options include airplane restoration, baking, chess, Duke of Edinburgh, karaoke, knit and natter, lego vex, media, and various sports clubs—each aimed at enhancing our student experience, personal growth and employability.
- Innovative digital learning: One-to-one devices are integrated into classroom teaching and home study, creating an engaging and forward-thinking learning environment. This approach boosts student participation and provides clear evidence of academic progress.
- Ongoing investment in facilities: The school continues to expand and upgrade its learning spaces—including the Performing Arts Hall—to ensure high-quality environments across all subjects and year groups.
We warmly invite you to explore all that Stokesley School has to offer during our 2025 Open Evening. This is a fantastic opportunity to tour our facilities, visit subject-specific areas, and gain insight into our curriculum. You’ll also have the chance to speak directly with our dedicated staff and current students.
Our Headteacher, Mr Fenwick, will deliver a welcome address in the Main Hall at two times during the evening: 5.15pm and 6.00pm. Upon arrival, please head to the school reception to collect your map and itinerary to help guide your visit.
We look forward to welcoming you. If you have any questions ahead of the event, feel free to contact us.
