School Calendar updated 11.1.2010

Our school is a North Yorkshire Community Middle School for pupils of all abilities in years six, seven and eight (ten to thirteen year olds). Children usually start here at the end of year five and go to Settle College at the beginning of year nine, together with pupils from Ingleton Middle School.

We have seven main feeder primary schools at Austwick, Giggleswick,Long Preston, Hellifield, Rathmell, Horton-in-Ribblesdale,  and Settle. Children from neighbouring towns and villages such as Malham, Kirkby Malham, Otterburn, Coniston Cold, Airton, Gargrave, Tosside, and Skipton can, and often do, choose Settle Middle School. ( Ingleton Middle School has five feeder primary schools at High Bentham, Burton-in-Lonsdale, Clapham and Ingleton.)

Parents whose children transfer to Settle Middle School from our local primary schools in the normal way at the end of year five, are invited to the school with their child before the end of the summer term. Other parents are always welcome to make an appointment with the head teacher to visit the school. There is also a full induction program involving various events arranged for the new year six pupils, both before and after their transfer to Settle Middle School. Every year we also hold an open day, which is open to anybody, so that you can see the school in operation for yourself.Admission arrangements are administered by the LEA and are set out in a booklet. " A guide to Parents in the Harrogate & Craven Area", which is available from the Area Education Office and always try to keep the size of our classes as small as possible. There are currently four forms in each year. Our admission limit is 97.
