WELCOME FROM Mr D. Swarbrick, Headteacher

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Rhyddings School.
I am incredibly proud to be Headteacher of a school with such a strong sense of community and commitment to its young people. At the heart of everything we do is a simple ambition: we want every young person to become the very best version of themselves.
Every child has their own talents, interests and aspirations. Our job is to recognise these, nurture them and provide the opportunities, encouragement and support that allow every pupil to succeed.
We have high expectations. We expect our pupils to work hard, attend well, treat others with respect and take pride in themselves and their school. In return, they can expect great teaching, strong pastoral care and staff who will go the extra mile for them.

Excellent academic outcomes matter. They open doors, create opportunities and give our young people greater choice about their futures. Alongside this, through sport, the arts, leadership, enrichment and opportunities beyond the classroom, we want pupils to discover their talents and raise their aspirations.
Strong schools are built on strong relationships between pupils, staff, families and the wider community. I want Rhyddings to be a school our pupils are proud to attend, our staff are proud to work in and our community is proud to call its own.
Our aim is for every young person to leave Rhyddings with great results, memorable experiences and genuine excitement about their future.
As you explore our website, I hope you get a sense of the warmth, ambition and community that make Rhyddings special. Better still, come and visit us and see it for yourself.
Mr David Swarbrick Headteacher
