Virtual Open Evening 2023

In 2022, Workington Academy has again welcomed a record number of students into Year 7 and following the incredibly positive feedback received from parents, carers and students in relation to our personalised approach taken to primary-secondary school transition last year – we are again offering pupils and families the opportunity to attend individualised after school tours, giving you the opportunity to come and look around our vibrant and state of the art learning environment, to find out more about our broad and balanced curriculum and exciting extra-curricular opportunities that we offer all students and to meet members of our Senior Leadership Team and Team Year 7 staff.

Tours will be available from Monday 25 September and for further information on how to book a tour of the academy – please visit: Click Here
