Welcome to Rhyddings

I am incredibly proud to be the Headteacher at a school that truly serves its community and affords its young people every opportunity to be the very best that that they can be. Rhyddings has a strong tradition and sense of family, where every pupil is valued and has a feeling of belonging. This is underpinned by first class pastoral care, through a Year Leader System, where every pupil is made to feel safe but also supported and challenged to do their very best.

After an extensive period away I am delighted return to our £10 Million re-developed site, you can read more about that here or hear it in the media press release.

Our curriculum offers a range of courses tailored to meet the needs of every individual, including many extra-curricular opportunities and enrichment activities. This prepares all our young people to be the best that they can be academically; so that when they leave through our gates in the summer of their final year they have the currency in qualifications to be competitive but more than that they are well rounded, considerate and compassionate young people with the skills to be successful throughout their adult lives – This is the ‘Rhyddings Way’

My colleagues and I share a commitment to provide the highest quality of education for every pupil in our care and to the continual improvement of both our practice and environment. This will be further enhanced when we form , with three other Hyndburn schools, a new Multi Academy Trust – the Lancashire Education Trust (LET).

We also believe that education is most effective when pupils, parents/carers and teachers work closely together and support the high expectations we set for our collective success.
It is my hope that you will feel Rhyddings and the Lancashire Education Trust is the best school for your child. Should you have any further questions after reading this and exploring our website, please do not hesitate to contact me at school.

Mr A. Williams
Headteacher
