Ribblesdale School has served Clitheroe and the local community faithfully for more than 90 years. We’re delighted to have now expanded our age range to become Lancashire's only maintained all-through school welcoming pupils aged 4-16.

Along with a friendly and inclusive atmosphere we have an unashamedly ambitious approach to education, offering aspirational opportunities and cutting-edge resources to rival those of any independent school. Ribblesdale is well known for its prowess in educational technology and its ‘outstanding’ personal development provision (Ofsted 2020). This is because we prize the growth of positive, well-rounded, future-proofed citizens as highly as we do academic success and we pursue both with vigour and determination for every pupil in our care.

Hopefully our website will give you a flavour of our vibrant and thriving school community - but nothing beats experiencing it for yourself!

If you’d like to visit, we’d be proud to show you around.
