Guiseley School
Guiseley School is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in Guiseley, West Yorkshire, England. The school offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the Sixth Form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs.
Guiseley School was established in 1963 on Fieldhead Road, Guiseley, with a main building nicknamed the ‘Tower Block’ and many outbuildings. An extension known as the ‘Sixth Form Block’ was added in 1994 and the grounds were rebuilt from the ground up in 2023.
The school's history predates the 1960s as Guiseley Secondary Modern. This was located upon Oxford Road in the centre of Guiseley and is now site to Guiseley Primary School. During the early 1960s a larger site was found and new buildings constructed for the secondary school. By 1963, the site had been completed and the new school was officially opened on 20 July 1963. The first cohort of students enrolled in September 1963.
In 1996, the school was awarded Technology College status, which awards schools which specialise in maths, science and design and technology. This ended in 2014.
In September 2006, the school was damaged by a tornado and floods during a freak storm and had to be temporarily closed.[better source needed]
In September 2011, Guiseley School became one of the first schools in the UK to completely ban skirts as part of their school uniform. The school released a statement saying that they believed that short skirts were contributing to the sexualisation of children. With a new uniform introduced in 2019, this ban has since been revoked.
In January 2014, Guiseley became a Foundation School administered by Leeds City Council and the Aireborough Learning Partnership.
In September 2015, 46 pupils and 4 staff members from the school became ill with food poisoning while on a school trip to Belgium. A total of 80 Year 11 pupils had gone on the school trip and those who were taken ill were treated at seven hospitals around Zeebrugge. Those pupils who were not infected were taken to a hostel. All of the pupils and staff eventually recovered.
