Interim Principal

Mr D J Neal


Our values of Ambition, Bravery and Respect run through everything we do here at Airedale and we aim to instil these values in all of our students. We want to help develop our students into happy, well prepared, and confident adults, who adopt an ‘I can’ mentality and aim high in all they do. To enable us to achieve this and be the very best we can be, we are committed to working in partnership with students, their parents/carers and the community. Our absolute aim is to make the most of every young person’s time with us.

“Leaders have planned a curriculum with breadth and ambition. The opportunities this

curriculum offers are open to all, including pupils with special educational needs and/or

disabilities.”

“The school makes a considerable effort to provide wider opportunities for pupils. There

are many trips and educational visits available. The school ensures these opportunities are

available to everyone. ‘Airedale on tour’ is the programme of summer trips.”
