We are an 11-16 community comprehensive school which serves Boroughbridge and the surrounding area. With just under 400 students we are a relatively small school which gives us a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. We feel like a family and, as such, we know our students well making Boroughbridge High School a good place to work and learn.
Our belief in 'Aspiration for all' means that our students are at the heart of our decision making. We strive to ensure that all students leave our school, not only with the qualifications they need to access the next stage of their education or career of choice, but with the skills and confidence to make an active contribution to the communities to which they belong.
To secure this, everything that we do is underpinned by our values that we are ambitious, respectful and resilient. Students have the opportunity to develop these values through our ambitious curriculum, leadership opportunities and our extra-curricular activities.
