Samworth Church Academy has opened its doors to Year 6 pupils and their families to explore the facilities on offer when they join the academy next year.

The academy opened its climbing wall; students put on dance and drama performances, held history, religious study and art workshops; and held tours of the facilities on offer.

A spectacular show was held in the science department where teacher Simon Walters wowed the crowds with chemistry.

David Hunt, leader of transition at the academy said, “During the course of the evening, Year 6 students from the primary schools were shown a fantastic range of opportunities to get involved in, within many different subject areas.

“We hope this gave the visitors a feel for all of the subjects that we offer.
The atmosphere around the academy was absolutely superb and it was clear from the visitors’ reactions that they had an exciting experience.”
