Ribblesdale is situated in the market town of Clitheroe, at the heart of the beautiful Ribble Valley. The school has a long and distinguished tradition, meeting the needs of many young people who have grown up, lived and appreciated the local area and contributed to its economy. Ribblesdale High School has high expectations of its students, its parents and itself. In recent years we have invested heavily in excellent teachers, up to date resources and the school's facilities. We are constantly developing the skills of our staff and pupils are key in developing many of the policies and developments within the school. A large school perhaps, but with the ability to add value through an exceptionally diverse curriculum where our students are individually cared for in a supportive and educationally challenging environment.

📝 Year 8 Exam Week – Starting Thursday 15th October! 📚✨

A quick reminder to all our Year 8 pupils and their families that Year 8 Exam Week officially begins on Thursday 15th October 2026.

These assessments are a fantastic opportunity for pupils to showcase all the hard work, knowledge, and progress they have made this year! 🌟

Here are a few top tips to help prepare over the coming days:
✏️ Check your timetable: Make sure you know which exams are happening on each day.
🎒 Pack your equipment: Pens, pencils, ruler, rubber, calculator, and a clear pencil case.
📖 Little and often: Break revision into manageable chunks rather than cramming the night before.
😴 Rest and recharge: A good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast make all the difference on exam mornings!

Remember, just try your absolute best—we are already proud of you! If you have any questions or need extra guidance, your subject teachers and form tutors are always here to help.

Good luck, Year 8! You’ve got this! 👏

🧠🏗️ Da Vinci Decathlon Preparation!

Our Year 8 and 9 pupils have been putting their creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test as part of their preparation for the Da Vinci Decathlon!
Their challenge? Build the tallest tower possible using just spaghetti and marshmallows! 🍝☁️

There was plenty of planning, experimenting, rebuilding and, of course, a few spectacular collapses along the way!

The challenge is a fantastic way for our pupils to develop the skills they'll need for the Da Vinci Decathlon, including communication, critical thinking, creativity and teamwork.

We can't wait to see what this talented group can achieve! 🚀

BRAVO!! 🤩

A huge well done to Austin, Amelia, Tahlia, Lunaire and Oscar, who showed tremendous courage, confidence and maturity by delivering a speech alongside Mrs Horrocks at our recent Open Evening.

It was wonderful to see how captivated the young children and their parents were by their words. The silence in the room as our pupils spoke said it all!

They were a real credit to themselves, their families and our school, and we couldn’t be prouder of them.
