The proposal is to merge the two schools into a single educational establishment from September 2016. It would involve the technical closure of Brayton High School as a separate entity and the enlargement of Selby High School across the two current school sites.

The enlarged school would have a single budget and would operate across the existing sites and buildings with staff from both schools. The combined school would have a single governing body and leadership structure working in the best interests of all pupils.

It would allow the two schools to combine the strengths and values of both schools through a single governing body, head teacher and other resources. This would potentially offer greater opportunities to pupils in terms of the breadth of the curriculum, having access to well-qualified specialist teachers and the extra-curricular and social opportunities open to them. It would allow the recent dip in GCSE results at Brayton High School to be addressed rapidly and effectively.

Drop-in sessions

Meetings will be held in both schools for parents of pupils attending either of the schools, and for any member of the community who would like to learn more:

  • ​Monday 25 January at 6.30pm at Selby High School;
  • Tuesday 26 January at 6.30pm Brayton High School.
