Sherburn High School is a secondary school with 748 students including Sixth Form. Based in the attractive market town of Sherburn in Elmet, it is rated as Good by Ofsted (April 2017).

As a school, we pride ourselves on our commitment to high quality teaching and innovative and diverse approaches to teaching and learning, ensuring our students are stimulated, engaged and enthusiastic.

Supported by the Governing Body, you will be involved in developing plans within the STAR MAT, using your abilities to build partnerships and influence thinking. You will also need to be financially astute, effectively managing resources while building teams and ensuring our friendly, caring culture is maintained.

About Sherburn High School
Sherburn High School is situated in an attractive position on the western fringes of the village of Sherburn in Elmet, which lies in the M1/A1/A64 corridor between Leeds and York. First class housing and education choices, and a wide range of leisure opportunities are also available. We are a thriving school community that is big enough to deliver but small enough to care.
We strive to be open, honest and up for the challenge! We don’t claim to know all the answers or to always get it right, but we do claim to try our very best to support and care about every single young person in our school as summed up by our school motto “Achievement for All.”
We are fortunate to have an established and cohesive team of outstanding practitioners within a successful and vibrant school. At Sherburn we do not limit our definition of achievement simply to academic pursuits. We believe in developing well-rounded individuals and, as such, we make a significant investment in sports and the arts.
If you would like to know more about the school and its activities, please look at our website www.sherburnhigh.co.uk and get in touch. Thank you for your interest in our school.
