Outcomes
Ribblesdale is a fully inclusive comprehensive school catering for pupils of all abilities. We pride ourselves on providing a holistic education which prepares young people effectively for the next stage in their education and development. This means that, for us, personal growth and development is as important as academic success. Outcomes at Ribblesdale are typically in line with national averages and so the figures published by the DfE for summer 2023 represent an atypical data set for Ribblesdale pupils, many of whom, in 2023, saw their final performance adversely affected by a number of factors, including the impact of the pandemic. Destinations data consistently indicates that pupils who attend Ribblesdale are well prepared for their next steps. There have been virtually no neets* (*young people 'not in employment or education) in our leavers cohorts for many years.
We use the vast array of accomplishments of our former pupils to help motivate and inspire the next generation on their road to success.
We are proud of our pupils’ past and present achievements, and we recognise that it gives them additional pleasure if we publicise our congratulations on the school website.
