Most Ribble Valley schools achieve a similar standard of exam results but this school is well known for it's dicipline and caring, Christain atmosphere. A child who wants to go to this school must live in the catchment area and be in a Catholic feeder school. There are 7 or 8 feeder schools and children automaticall get aplace ifthey attend one. The school is in a rural setting and feels like a small country school.

Re; Above post from 2010…read more I have two children at this wonderful school and I do not recognise the description from Charly. I think it caters for children of a wide variety of interests - this is not a criticism - it is a strength. The staff are fantastic and there is lots going on in sport, music, dance drama and lots of other activities. Parents should not be surprised that Religious Education is on the curriculum. The clue is in "Roman Catholic High School"!!! It is not a good school - it is an outstanding school, which is what the last Ofsted report says.

The school has excellent Ofsted Reviews and is well resourced. All have my children have been there and benefitted from the dedicated expertise of the staff. The only downside i feel, is that there could be better disabled access as it is on three levels at some points and the stairs are difficult to negotiate. The disabled toilet is in the main recption area. There has recently been some renovation work as the old ROSLA block was demolished and a new state of the art gym block has been added. Children often go into further educational studies at a higher level

During my time there, I literally studied till I dropped! By word of mouth, I heard that I was attending one of the top Schools in Liverpool, so I had to brace myself for the amount of home work and extra activities I was involved in. This did put me under a lot of pressure as stress levels were inevitibly high during those years. However, if it had not been for St. Eddie's (as some call it), I would probably not have achieved my full potential. The School is located in quite a peaceful surrounding and when you enter the site, it has this classic School look about it with long corridors, a huge playing field and even a swimming pool (which was a bonus). The 6th Form building is pleasantly decorated in a building of heritage that the School has preserved. Its interior walls are painted in lovely pink too! Each classroom in the Upper School fits an average of 20 pupils and they have a wide range of facilites to benefit from, throughout the institution. There are also a couple of common rooms where you can eat and chat to friends in a controlled environment. If you are a parent and have a child or you are of the post-16 criteria, look no further than St. Edward's College.

The food is excellent, and is frequently featured on news programmes/teachers tv. The teachers are all fab,very friendly and they all want to help your child achieve the best I can. The headteacher was given an OBE and also recieved the Ted Wragg Lifetime Achievement Award, both due to the outstanding effect he has had on the school. There are a great choice of school trips, many of which are foreign exchanges, including a 7 week one to Melbourne, Australia in Yr 9! If you are in the North Yorkshire Area and are unsure where to send your child for secondary school, this is the place!

That in itself speaks volume. The headteacher and ALL the staff have a very professional and caring approach. The safety and well-being of all the children are paramount. The school welcome parents and always listen to parents and provide just as much support to the parents as they do the children. My son is in his 5th year here and is loving every minute. He always looks forward to going everyday even after 5 years. His speech is getting much clearer and his signing is amazing. He has excellent deaf awareness. I would highly recommend Royal Cross School to any family with a deaf child.

My daughter has a range of disabilities as well as being deaf and they have taken them in their stride and cope admirably with all the additional equipment and services involved. She is happy, secure and learning....just what a nurturing school environment should be like. The fact yet again the school is Outstanding rated to me says it all, and our daughter adores her school and teachers. I think that is you are communicative in a positive way, then there are no issues that cannot be overcome and at times with all schools there has to be compromise...but for us we could not be happier, the only downside is she has to leave at some point.
