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.

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 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!

The first time we took our son on a visit he described Breckenbrough as 'my world'. Since he started at Breck my son is happy, less stressed and has better self esteem. The staff understand these boys and stretch them but in a way with which they can cope. The extra-curricular activities are amazing - my son's previous school couldn't cope with him on a school trip without me being there but through Breck he has been abseiling, orienteering, motorcycling, even on a day trip to Edinburgh. He is now keen to learn and has favourite subjects such as French. While he previously would describe school as 'hell', he now says school is brilliant.

Looking at the place you have to laugh really. It looks like it could just fall apart. I spent my…read morewhole secondary school years here and to be honest, despite it being frail and old I really enjoyed my time here. The school is an all boys Roman Catholic secondary school and has a great reputation in Bradford. There are boys from ages 11 to 18 here and around 1200 students attend the school. It's in a small village not far from Bradford city centre. The standard of education here has always been very high and remains so to this day. There's talk of the school merging with the girls catholic school located just down the road, hence the new buildings popping up around the school. The teachers on the whole were pretty good there. It's a real top place to go to school!
