Values and Vision

Settle College is a place of innovation and creativity, where all children are encouraged to uphold their highest academic abilities at the same time as enjoying their time studying in a vibrant and successful school. Thanks to its smaller size than many secondary schools, it treats each of its students as individuals, ensuring that their personalities, skills and talents are used to make the school the diverse and thriving educational environment that it is.

Ofsted

"The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since your appointment as Headteacher in November 2018, you have led the school with vision and vigour and a real sense of moral purpose. Working with staff and governors, you have quickly and effectively established a culture and ways of working that have helped address the uncertainties that had led to a dip in quality of some aspects of the school’s work. Because of your actions and approach, the school is very much back on track and is making strong progress."
