Achievements
When it comes to outcomes for our pupils – we deliver. Our results are consistently above the majority of other schools nationally.
What we really thrive on is recognising that success means different things for different pupils and we tailor our curriculum to ensure that all pupils can flourish based on their strengths whether it be through musical talents, sporting prowess or our varied enrichment programme. We focus on developing confidence in a variety of areas, which then give the pupils the resilience, determination and perseverance that is often needed to thrive in the classroom. This is seen in the wealth of diverse careers and pathways our former pupils have pursued and secured from dentist to dancer (London, West End!)
We also use the vast array of accomplishments of our former pupils to help motivate and inspire the next generation on their road to success.

Zoe – Year 7 Pupil
Hello, my name is Zoe and I am in Year 7.
I came to Ribblesdale from Barrow Primary School. Starting at a new school was scary and intimidating, but I soon found it to be a fun experience.
I’ve enjoyed learning new things in maths and science such as algebra and learning about microscopes.
I have enjoyed the variety of subjects from French and Spanish to history and geography. I’ve made new friends and all my teachers are very welcoming and kind. I couldn’t imagine a better school for me to thrive and flourish.
More information about the curriculum can be found in the individual subject pages and in the documents below.
