Parkside Secondary School
- Parkside Secondary School
Parkside secondary school is located in Cullingworth, Bradford, West Yorkshire, and employs about 50 teachers and educates approximately 1200 students. Its headmaster is Dr. Tony Rickwood who has a doctorate in physics, and its deputy-head is Mr. Michael Smith.
It is a specialist Arts College and its A*-C pass rates for GCSE Art are high, at 90%+. As such, it is a relatively desirable school and many parents in the area wish for their children to attend it.
Musically, it has participated in the National Youth Music Festival and received an award after having performed its Music-Director-composed "Orpheus and Eurydice". Musicians: Julia Williams (Vocalist) Edmond Williams (Flute) Daniel Hyde (Guitar) Gavin (Piano) Sam Kaye (percussion) and many more, competed at the Music Festival in Birmingham, where they won two awards. One for the most unique sound and the other one for placing in the top 5.
Although the school is classed as Arts College the school offers a higher and more advanced science course, in this “Triple science course” the students learn not just about science in general, but have 3 different lessons that specialize in the 3 different areas of science, Chemistry, Biology and Physics, each of these different classes has a different teacher and course work is set for each lesson, all three of the teachers co-ordinate when they give out course work and test, so the students don’t have to worry about more than one test or piece of course work at a time.
Parkside secondary school also has a good reputation for students being safe inside and outside the school, only a few minor incidents ever happen in a whole month (less than 5) and major incidents rarely happen at all, the biggest issue that the school is trying to sort out is the amount of rubbish left after dinner times and break times, the amount of litter has steadily increase despite student assemblies and staff attempts to cut down on the amount of packaging that is used in the canteen.
