the wensleydale school & sixth form
North Yorkshire
The Wensleydale School and Sixth Form is here for one reason: to help all of our
students realise their dreams. To do this, we make sure that our young people
feel part of our safe and caring community and challenge them to grasp every
opportunity that their education offers. They can then leave us with the
strongest possible set of exam results, outstanding inter-personal skills and a
real understanding about where their passions and talents lie. These are the
qualities and traits that I think are critical to a good education. They open
doors for young people, and the more doors they have open - the more choice they
have. While it is easy to make bold statements like this, it is much harder for
a parent to grasp what is simply rhetoric, and what is the reality of a school.
At Wensleydale there are tangible outcomes to show that we are setting our
standards high. Ofsted has praised the work that we do. Our exam results exceed
the national average and are continuing on a very positive trajectory. We
regularly compete and excel against schools much bigger than ourselves. Most
importantly though, the best way to get a feel for our school is to speak to our
staff and students. They are the biggest testament to the strength of our
community. So please do come in and say hello! We are a school where we are not
just proud of what we have achieved, but we are proud of how we have achieved
it.
