Community

Ribblesdale School has a close relationship with the community in which it is situated. The following describes this relationship and our involvement in the local community.

Partnerships with the community have been an important factor in the success of Ribblesdale. Through our work as a specialist school for technology and Vocational learning, we have evolved strong links with primary schools, colleges and training providers, as well as many local businesses. These links enhance the learning of our pupils and pupils in other schools; enabling them to become responsible citizens.

Through our Citizenship programme, we offer careers education and guidance to all our pupils. This is supported by strong community involvement in the form of speakers, advisors, mentors and interviewers. In Year 10, all pupils complete a work experience placement to better prepare them for adult life which links closely to their chosen personalised pathway in Key Stage 4 and Year 9.

 “Pupils from Ribblesdale are a credit to themselves and the school.”
