Nidderdale High School is a coeducational secondary school located in Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire, England.[1] The school is named after Nidderdale, one of the Yorkshire Dales in which the school is located.

The school is part of the Red Kite Alliance[1][2] – a partnership of schools and universities in Yorkshire focused on providing school-to-school support and training new teachers.[3][4] Nidderdale High School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils.

History

In July 2017, a group of children from the school were runners-up in the Project Reinvent Challenge, sponsored by Drax Power and won a share of the £10 000 prize for their design for a new climbing wall.[5]

In December 2017, the school received media attention after part-time art teacher Bridget Adams[6] won The Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts Award for her artwork Organised Kindness.[7]

In September 2020, the school won the National Association of Pastoral Care in Education Pastoral Development of the Year Award for its Harmony Project.[8]

Previously a community school administered by North Yorkshire Council,[9] in September 2023 Nidderdale High School converted to academy status.[10] The school is now sponsored by the Moorlands Learning Trust.[11]
