Welcome to
our website.
Driffield School is a large 11-18 Comprehensive School which offers
education for 11-19 year old students living in Driffield and the
surrounding areas.
Students at Driffield School succeed and succeed well. Attainment
at all levels of ability is rising year by year and we are rightly
proud of the achievements of our students and the excellent support
and opportunities they receive from staff. We have high expectations
from our students and we esteem the qualities of tolerance, courtesy
and hard work in the daily life of our school. Whilst our students
are very successful academically we also regard the position of broader
educational opportunities equally important. Our students are able
to benefit from a wide range of activities which help them develop
personally, socially and culturally, and prepare then to become responsible
citizens of the 21st Century. This aspect of our work is reflected
in Teaching and Learning in the classroom and is enhanced by a vibrant
programme of extra curricular activities, exchanges and visits in
the areas of sport, drama, music, foreign visits and much more. In
short, we seek to provide an environment within which each child
can feel secure and to which each student, whatever their strengths
or abilities can make a contribution. Students rise to the challenge
of our high expectations of work, behaviour, and discipline and enjoy
being a part of this school because they know they are valued.
We are a real community built upon foundations of trust, honesty
and mutual respect. Our relationships with parents form the bedrock
upon which each student’s success is built. We look forward
to working with all parents and other partners in order to enhance
further the many opportunities offered to the young people we serve
and we hope that everyone shares our pride in their outstanding achievements.
