Parkside School and locality
We want all of our schools to make a positive contribution to the community that they are embedded within. This impact should be meaningful, considerable and lasting.
We want the young people of Parkside school to have every available opportunity to develop into well-rounded citizens who are equipped to make a positive contribution and who know how to keep themselves safe. We want students to have passionate hopes for their future; hopes that they can articulate, believe in and make real. We want to develop a nurturing environment that develops students who can empathise, critique, protect, love, inspire, make, design, explore and understand; students who are willing to try things they have never tried before, do things they have never done before and who are willing to risk reimagining themselves as the very best version of what they can become.
Located in the picturesque village of Cullingworth, Parkside School is surrounded by rolling hills and dramatic countryside.
The village, three miles south of Keighley and seven miles west of central Bradford, is not only popular with commuters but also with tourists, walkers and cyclists who revel in some of the country’s most glorious scenery.
The locality is steeped in history; the Brontë Parsonage Museum and its famous literary collections lie less than five miles east.
Also on the doorstep is the Saltaire World Heritage Site; a Victorian model village that is home to Salts Mill, which itself boasts striking architecture, eateries and shopping.
