About Rhyddings
Rhyddings is a warm, welcoming and friendly community. We believe we should all try our Personal Best and accept No Excuses. This culture, alongside high-quality lessons is ensuring our school is moving from strength to strength.
We continue to work hard to prepare the young people we serve and help them realise and reach their potential, providing them with the very best educational experiences. We have been at the heart of the community for over 90 years and although a smaller than average high school, but expanding, we cater for pupils from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Rhyddings serves the East Lancashire old mill town of Oswaldtwistle and surrounding area of Hyndburn. The school enjoys good transport links via the M65 corridor and adjoining networks of M6 and M66.
Pupils are well supported through our Pastoral Year and House Continent system, with year group tutoring further supporting the child. This provides the care and guidance pupils need to perform well across the curriculum as well as healthy competition throughout the year.
We have an active extra-curricular programme and run a number of annual residential trips both here and abroad. Close links with the local Rotary Club provides access to bespoke programmes, community work and charitable activities. Pupils also have the opportunity to participate and complete their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award and some participate in The King’s Trust programme.
Commitment to safeguarding
Rhyddings has Child Safeguarding Policies/Procedures in place and is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all pupils. Each pupil’s welfare is of paramount importance to us and you are expected to share this commitment. All staff fully comply with the school’s policies/procedures, attend appropriate training, inform the designated person of any concerns, record any potential safeguarding incidents appropriately. Staff are responsible for their own actions and behaviour and should avoid any conduct which would lead any reasonable person to question their motivation and intentions. Staff should work, and be seen to work, in an open and transparent way.
