Welcome to the Sherburn High School Website. I hope that you find the information that you need, if not please telephone the school and we will be happy to help you.

The school’s motto is ‘Achievement for All’ and this is reflected in the levels of success achieved by the students in both the mainstream curriculum and the enrichment activities. The school is committed to students of all abilities achieving their goals.

The curriculum is innovative and designed to meet the needs of individual learners. For example, we retain the option of pursuing the three separate sciences at GCSE, students can begin some A level courses two years early, and we have recently completed a successful pilot of single gender teaching groups in English. 95% of our sixth form students achieved their first choice university place in 2005.

At around 1000 students the school is big enough to deliver, but small enough to care. We deliver a broad and rich curriculum, and we also pride ourselves on excellent pastoral care. In year groups of around 170 students individuals can become well known by their tutor and head of year. Every report on the school from Ofsted to independent surveys mentions the high standards of care and guidance.

As I hope this website and the prospectus will demonstrate we do not limit our horizons to delivering an academic education. We believe in developing rounded individuals and as such our commitment to sport, drama, music and other enrichment activities remains strong.

In addition I think it is worth adding that Sherburn High School is a well disciplined school, and it retains what I call ‘a proper uniform’, that is shirt, tie and blazer!
