Risedale Sports and Community College is a vibrant and happy place to learn, characterised by excellent relationships between staff, pupils and parents in the context of 'Learning and Achieving Together'. Pupils are at the heart of all that we do. We are a family. The College currently has a population of over 550 pupils aged 11-16 years and enjoys an enviable and growing reputation in the local community. It is expected to expand to between 600 and 800 pupils over the next decade as the population of Catterick Garrison increases by becoming a ‘Super Garrison'. Links with the Armed Forces are strong. The College has one of the largest proportions of service children (over 50%) of any secondary school in the UK. This military connection is an integral part of the college's distinctive character. Risedale is located in the beautiful county of North Yorkshire, bordering the North York Moors National Park, offering a high quality of life. The college is just a 5 minute drive from the A1(M) providing easy access to Teesside, Newcastle, York and the Leeds conurbation.
