Ravenscliffe High School is Calderdale's only Secondary Special School, providing education for up to 120 students aged 11 to 19 years. The school caters for pupils with a wide range of special educational needs, including moderate and severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties, autistic spectrum disorders, sensory impairment, and physical disabilities. A small percentage have identified moderate emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Our particular project is aiming to develop horticultural skills for people with learning difficulties in the hope of possibly providing future employment opportunities for this disadvantaged group.
We have, in the last three years, entered the garden in the Yorkshire in Bloom Competition and have attained Silver Award Status. We are also looking to become an Eco School in the near future. We regularly fundraise for charities including sponsored sunflower growing for the Greenfingers Appeal.
