Main School Open Evening
2026 Open Evening: Thursday 1 October 6pm-8.30pm
As a school we understand that making the correct choice for your son or daughter’s secondary education and future success is crucial. We believe that Malton School has many things to offer:
- “An inclusive school which has very high ambition for its pupils” (Oftsed 2023).
- A positive, friendly and nurturing environment where students are “enthusiastic about learning and show positive attitudes towards adults” (Ofsted 2023).
- An ambitious, well-designed and fully inclusive curriculum (Ofsted 2023) with excellent teaching and a highly supportive system of pastoral care. The broad curriculum offer maintains choice for students whilst adding significant value to the progress they make. Students choose up to 4 subjects to study at GCSE in addition to English, Maths and Science, which can be taken as a triple or double option.
- Providing weekly opportunities for students to develop their personal portfolio of experiences and skills through an extended day on a Thursday when students are in school until 4.25pm. Known as Personal Development Activities, students choose one subject per term which could be anything as diverse as astronomy, baking, cheerleading, Duke of Edinburgh Awards, crochet, mock trial, media or gardening. “These are designed to broaden and enrich pupils’ experiences and develop employability skills” (Ofsted 2023).
The use of iPads within lessons and to support home learning, to create an innovative and compelling learning environment that engages students and provides tangible evidence of academic achievement. - Continued development and extension of the facilities to ensure Malton School provides high-quality learning areas across the curriculum and in all Year Groups.
To enable you to experience this for yourself, every year in late September or early October we hold an Open Evening to which all prospective parents / carers of students in Years 5 and 6 are invited to attend. The Open Evening provides you with the opportunity to view our facilities, visit subject departments, as well as speak to staff and current students. It also gives you the opportunity to hear a welcome from the Headteacher, Mr Williams in the West Wing Hall.
Our Open Evening this year is being held on Thursday, 1 October from 6.00pm-8.30pm. Please come to the West Wing initially to collect a schedule for the evening as well as map of the school site. We very much look forward to welcoming you to Malton School.
