A CRAVEN headteacher is pioneering drop-in sessions in community spaces around Skipton.

Wendy Hamilton, of The Skipton Academy, is embarking on a new initiative to make information about her school even more accessible by hosting open surgeries at the town's library and Greatwood Community Centre.

The drop-ins are open to all and Wendy hopes they will prove effective in helping people to find out more about the academy.

Wendy said: β€œIt is a chance for parents and residents to ask any questions they want about the academy. I am really looking forward to meeting people and helping them with information about our school.”

Wendy pioneered drop-ins at her last school in Lincolnshire and it is believed they are a new idea for Craven.

Wendy will be at Greatwood Community Centre on Saturday from 11.30am to 2pm and at Skipton Library on Saturday, March 21 from 9.30am to noon.
