"Excellent school, outstanding facilities!"

I'm so impressed with the facilities at Horsforth School! My child loves the new music block and the sports facilities are top-notch. The teachers are always available to discuss progress and the values of 'Opportunity and achievement for all' really shine through in the way they approach teaching and learning. Highly recommend!

"Mixed feelings about Horsforth School"

I have mixed feelings about Horsforth School. My child attended the school from 2018-2022 and while they did achieve good grades, I feel that the school could be more supportive of students with SEN. The facilities are excellent and the teachers are generally good, but I do feel that the school could be more flexible when it comes to meeting individual needs.
