Nidderdale High School has been recognised with a national award for its pastoral care.
In the first ever online awards run by the National Association of Pastoral Care in Education, the school was announced as the winner of the Pastoral Development of the Year category.
The recognition is for the school's Harmony Project, which saw a group of year 10 students working on a project with pastoral leader Anneliese Walker. They made lanterns at Number 6 Studio Gallery in Pateley Bridge and went trekking with Nidderdale Llamas.
Judges praised the unique and innovative way the project supported young people, enabling them to experience the enjoyment of working confidently and collaboratively with others. They were encouraged to show and receive kindness and understanding, to make future plans together and not to be influenced by difficulties they had faced in the past.
