  You can use DATENAME function to do this.  This will do it for the current date.

  SELECT DATENAME( year, GetDate() )

  Or in a query

  SELECT DATENAME( year, <ColumnName> )

  FROM <TableName>

  Where Column name is the name of the column and Table name is the name of the table.

  Or simply

  SELECT YEAR(MyField) FROM MyTable
