Open Events

Thank you for your interest in our Open Events

Due to the Covid 19 restrictions we are currently unable to host our usual Open Mornings  which would normally cater for a number of families on one day.   In place of these however we will be holding  an 'Open Week' for the week commencing May 21st 2021.

During your visit you will have the opportunity to be shown around the school, speak with current pupils and find out all about life at Skippers. You will also meet some of the Skipper’s team as well as our Headmaster, Mr Phillip Makhouli.

Due to restrictions, prebooking  an appointment  is essential and the numbers of tours available each day is limited.

Please call 01825 830 234 or email office@skippershill.com

This website, Facebook, Twitter, and |nstagram pages, as well as our YouTube channel, are excellent ways of getting a feel for what's going on in our school.

Choosing the right school

If you would like some advice on choosing the best school for your child, here are some snippets from a blog  about that all important decision:

1. Match the school to the needs of your child, rather than the other way round.

2. Choose a school that values sport, the performing arts and creative arts equally and gives all children the chance to develop in these areas. 

3. Academic results are vitally important but delve under the surface of published ‘results’ - choose a school that values and promotes academic progress for all, whatever the children’s starting points. 

4. Look for a school that has high expectations but doesn’t place young children under too much pressure. 

5. Look for a school that will show what life is like on a normal school day and watch the children at work and in the playground.

If you think Skippers Hill could be the school for your child, before you visit, take a look at the video below to see a small preview what life is like at Skippers Hill:
