Horsforth School
At Horsforth School we firmly believe in “Opportunity and achievement for all.” Our curriculum is values driven and this is at its heart.
“Opportunity and achievement for all” epitomises everything we offer as we regard our curriculum as the totality of a student’s experience at Horsforth; our range of subjects, programmes of study, pedagogy, assessments, opportunities, clubs, trips, mentoring, pastoral support and enrichment.
Our curriculum is inclusive and aims to equip all students with confidence, resilience, competence and skills that allow them to succeed in a rapidly changing society. Our curriculum offers a breadth of opportunities and experience in conjunction with high quality pastoral care leading to personal and character development.
We aim for all students to achieve excellent outcomes, and this is not simply exam results but where students get to because of their experience at Horsforth School. We aim to ensure they are prepared for their future steps in education, employment and training and beyond. We want all students to enjoy their learning and achieve their own personal success, now and in the future. We have a clear responsibility to prepare students for the rest of their lives.
