Frequently asked questions regarding the Year 6 Open Evening:  

When is the next Open Evening at Ruskin?  Tuesday 21st September 2021.    

Who can attend?  We are welcoming parents/carers and Year 6 children into the academy, however, this year you will need to book a ticket.

Do we need a ticket to attend?  Parents/carers and Y6 children will only be able to attend if they book a ticket for the event - one ticket per person (including 1 for each child attending).   Unfortunately, if you do not have a ticket you will not be able to participate in the Open Evening, however, instead we would encourage you to look at the video links below, including the 360° Virtual tour of the building.  

Where do I go when I arrive at the academy on Tuesday 21st September 2021?    Please go straight to Ruskin  Main Reception, via the front gates (not the back track)  and you will be welcomed by Senior Leaders, Ruskin Admin staff and Sixth Formers.    The back track will not be open.    

Apart from staggering the arrival of parents and children, what other safety measures have you put in to place regarding Covid?

• The Academy recommends the wearing of face masks/face coverings due to the large number of visitors expected on site.
• We strongly advise that a lateral flow test is taken prior to visiting the academy.
• A Virtual Open Day is available for anyone who does not wish to come into the academy or is unable to get a suitable time slot via the booking system.   This includes various short videos to help you get a taste of what Ruskin is all about.   It also includes a virtual 360° tour of the academy.   Please see below.

*  Should government guidance and Covid restrictions change, we will revert to an online Virtual Open Evening and will notify tickets holders via social media.
