It’s that busy, exciting time of the year again, when across the country children are returning to the classroom for the school year ahead.

It’s also a busy time for Sky Academy when we’re looking forward to welcoming thousands of new young people to take part in our Sky Academy initiatives.

Sky Academy uses the power of TV, creativity and sport to help young people build practical skills and experience to unlock their potential. Working alongside schools and bringing together inspirational role models, Sky Academy is for young people from primary school right through to starting out in their careers. Already more than 230,000 young people have benefited and we’re providing more opportunities for young people to take part in the following year.
