St Aidan's Church of England High School

St Aidan's Church of England High School is a mixed Church of England secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. It currently houses over 2500 students of both lower school and sixth form age. It is named for the northern saint Aidan of Lindisfarne, the evangelist who brought the Christian gospel to Yorkshire in the 7th century. It was ranked 476th in the country for its GCSE results in 2021 by The Times. Though assessed as 'Outstanding' for many years, Ofsted assessed St Aidan's to be 'Inadequate' in 2022 after a controversial inspection in September 2021. This marked a fall from the highest to the lowest Ofsted Grade. Another Ofsted inspection, carried out in May 2022, raised the evaluation of St Aidan's to 'Good'.
