It is a comprehensive school and our students reflect the full range that you would find in any area. Although some pupils need more support, most of our students come to school eager to learn and to contribute to their school community. The local community is supportive of the school, the catchment area is well defined and we have excellent relationships with parents who choose to send their children here. There is pressure for places from beyond our catchment area. Knaresborough and North Yorkshire isn’t just a great place to teach, it’s a great place to live.
The extra-curricular life of the school is rich, most staff who work here make the most of it; there really is a vibrancy here that is difficult to match. We have a committed staff (teaching and non-teaching) who go the extra mile. Almost without exception, teachers go above and beyond the core delivery of lessons to enhance the enrichment opportunities for the students.
The ethos here is one of the strengths. Even though we have a charter going back to 1616 we are a very forward-facing school with an open and friendly ethos. We are highly inclusive, and we have a strong reputation for delivering outstanding care and outcomes for students with SEND alongside an enviable output to top university courses from our high-performing A level students. Our A level results place us in the top 20% of providers nationally consistently, year on year
