Our school is truly at the heart of our local community and likewise the local community at the heart of our school. We have served Thirsk and the surrounding area for over 60 years and continue to do so with an ethos that is child centred, ensuring that ‘every child really does matter’.

We pride ourselves on being committed to delivering an excellent ‘all round’ education confident that whatever the needs or abilities are of your child, that we will help them to fulfil their goals. Not only do we strive to ensure that the young people in our care achieve academic success, but likewise we endeavour to develop the ‘whole person’ through our strong extra-curricular offer; this includes Music, Drama, Sport and the Duke of Edinburgh Award (Bronze, Silver and Gold) to name but a few. For us, the recognition of individual qualities is key to both academic and personal success.

Similarly, we value the importance of our role pastorally in terms of supporting students. We know that without the right support and interventions, at the right time, young people will not succeed academically. Through our pastoral and inclusion teams, we aim to help our students navigate the challenges that life may throw at them, both now and in the future.
