Attendance is a key component to your child’s success

Learning Together
Achieving High Standards

A Message From
Our Headteacher

Ruskin Community High School is a happy, ambitious and inclusive school where students and teachers enjoy learning together. We have a clear vision for the school which aims to establish a partnership between parents and teachers in order for all of our students to achieve success.

In 2019, Ruskin was, once again, judged to be a “good school” by Ofsted and we continue to strive to deliver excellence in education. We are an extremely popular school of choice which has resulted in the school being oversubscribed for several years now. Ruskin is certainly a good school of choice and it is evident that our students are proud of themselves and the school.

Our students and staff work well together, behaviour is very positive, and learning is our priority. We are tolerant and inclusive which creates a learning environment which our students enjoy.

I am pleased that you are considering Ruskin Community High School.

Best wishes,

Dean Postlethwaite

Our Innovative
Curriculum

We are passionate about our curriculum and are excited to be launching a new and exciting offer in September 2022.

Every individual student receives personalised guidance so that their choices best prepare them for the future. We build our curriculum around the needs of our students. This year, students taking their options have chosen from a wide variety of subjects including Dance, Computer Science, Hospitality & Catering, History, Geography, iMedia, Music, Design & Technology, Physical Education, Business Studies, French, German, Spanish, Textiles, Art & Design, Food & Nutrition, ASDAN, Photography, Electrical Engineering, Statistics and Psychology.

Pastoral Care
and Guidance

A caring and child-centred Pastoral Care provision lies at the heart of Ruskin High School’s ethos and good practice. Our primary goal is to ensure that every young person is happy, safe, healthy and successful.

Each student has a Form Tutor and is a member of a Form Group. We have dedicated Form Tutors, who build strong relationships with their class and who also act as a first contact for you as parents/carers.

In addition, our Year Achievement Managers oversee progress and development. They are quick to intervene, ensuring that problems are resolved swiftly and every student knows who to go to for guidance.
