We look forward to welcoming you and your family to Boroughbridge High School


At Boroughbridge High School, we secure academic excellence with a welcoming, inclusive approach, ensuring that every student is known and thrives in a supportive and ambitious environment. Our belief in ‘Aspiration for All’ means that students are at the heart of our decision making.

Following a further impressive set of GCSE results this Summer, we invite you to join us for our Open Evening and see for yourselves how we nurture individual potential, whilst delivering strong results across all key stages.

With dedicated and experienced staff, a broad and balanced curriculum and a culture underpinned by our values, that we are ambitious, respectful and resilient, we are proud to be a school where every student is known, valued and inspired to succeed.

The fact that we feel like a family and know our students well makes our school a good place to learn and make progress. We understand that safe and happy students are successful. Our students experience a genuine sense of belonging. Our commitment is 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 students have the opportunity to develop our values through our ambitious curriculum, leadership opportunities and our wide range of extra-curricular activities. The impact of this is evidenced in students’ successful outcomes which lead them to a wide range of destinations.

We have an enhanced transition process to ensure that students quickly settle into secondary school life. This includes a visit by one of our Pastoral Team to meet your child and their teacher in their primary school, a Year 6 Parent/Carer Information Evening during the Summer Term and three transition days in the Summer Term. We also hold a three day  Summer School in August which is based around team building to build confidence. This means that we feel like we already know your child before they start with us. We have a Parent/Carer Evening at the beginning Year 7 to discuss how your child is settling in. Parents and Carers comment on the positive difference that our approach makes.

Our commitment to our young people is recognised by our Parents and Carers with feedback in a recent survey including, ‘My child is doing well and loves school.’, ‘BHS balances high student standards with a supportive culture.’ and ‘The school makes my child feel confident to be himself.’

Please come along to our Open Evening and see for yourselves. You’ll have the opportunity to visit each department, meet and talk with the students and staff and take part in learning activities. There will be a Headteacher’s talk at 6p.m. and 6.45p.m.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family to Boroughbridge High School.
