Scarisbrick Hall School is an award-winning independent day school in Lancashire renowned for its nurturing and progressive school environment. We go above and beyond to provide a holistic learning environment, both inside and outside the classroom, to equip our pupils with all the tools they need to maximise their potential. Here, we give you an insight into just some of the standout features that make our independent school so unique.
RIVER learning philosophy
As one of the leading independent schools in Lancashire and the UK, we pride ourselves on our unique RIVER learning philosophy. This holistic and progressive approach is designed to encourage resilience, independence, values, exploration and reflection amongst our pupils.
RIVER learning gives our students the best possible chance of reaching their full potential, equipping them with the tools they need to enjoy a happy and successful life. Both in terms of a lifelong love of learning and honing their own unique sense of identity.
Number one Sixth Form in the North
Our unique Sixth Form is a shining example of how the RIVER learning philosophy translates into well-rounded students. Not only are we recognised as the number one Sixth Form in the North of England, but we are also recognised as the top 10 nationally for progress and value added.
We are also among the few independent schools rated 100% excellent by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Our pre-university environment also gives pupils the skills, knowledge and guidance they need to move smoothly into a higher education setting.
Beyond the Classroom
At Scarisbrick Hall, co-curricular activities support our philosophy of RIVER learning and aim to extend, enrich and excite all of our pupils across every section of the school. As a school we recognise that every child is different and through these activities we aim to encourage them to find areas that they are passionate about and to experience a strong sense of teamwork.
“Co-curricular activities are an essential part of our education at Scarisbrick Hall School and we strongly believe that the activities play an essential role in the wellbeing and holistic development of the pupils in our care.” Jeff Shaw, Headmaster.
