Description
Lift New Rickstones is a co-educational 11-19 comprehensive school, part of Lift Schools. We have approximately 135 staff.
The school has modern, state of the art facilities, offering a first class learning and working environment to students and staff. The main building opened in 2012 and a new 2-storey building was added in September 2022 to accommodate our rapidly increasing popularity and student numbers. This success is also evident in our increasing published admission number (PAN), up to 240 from 180 since September 2022.
We are a dynamic school where students of all abilities achieve. We are committed to fostering a supportive and nurturing community where everyone can reach their full potential in a safe environment.
We believe that who you become is just as important as what you achieve, and we take great pride in helping each student thrive and fulfil their potential in our caring, learning community
We have a real belief that everyone can succeed and provide students with all the tools they require to do so. Our curriculum is designed to develop our 3 key drivers: Mastery, Character and Perspective. These 3 drivers provide a framework to deliver excellent learning, personal conduct and development, and pride in being part of our community.
Mastery: Developing thinking from just simply understanding to expertise; students grow to be able to think creatively about problems and demonstrate a fluency of skills to apply in any context. They are ambitious and committed to their learning.
Character: We expect far more from our students than just academic success. They will be confident and resilient and importantly, they will do the right thing, even when no one is looking.
Perspective: Students get to experience life beyond the classroom and how they might fit into the wider world around them. Trips and extracurricular activities are varied, well attended, and provide students with memories for years to come.
Everything we undertake is to allow students at Lift New Rickstones to be safe, to be happy, to be the best they can be, and most importantly, to be proud to call this their school. Our responsibility is to ensure that we fulfil our aims and build on our achievements to enable current and future students from Lift New Rickstones to be well prepared for the challenges of life in the 21st century.
