Skipton Girls' High School has always endeavoured to serve the local community both by providing a high quality education to girls from Skipton and the surrounding area and, increasingly, by reaching out directly to the community. The specialist Engineering status which we have recently acquired has allowed us to begin to do this more effectively. For example, we work with local primary schools to enhance their pupils' experience of Science, Engineering and Technology, many of our students have formed strong links with the community through activities run under the auspices of our thriving Duke of Edinburgh Award group, and we have run evening classes for the local community in Computer Aided Design and in Web Design.

The school buildings themselves, including our Dance / Drama Studio, are a resource which is used out of school hours both by the school and by other groups. At the moment classes are run in Aikido, Street Dance, Ballet, Drama and Computer Aided Design. For further details of any of these classes, or of facilities available to outside lettings, please contact the school on 01756 707600.
