About Us

Oswaldtwistle School is a 95-place secondary alternative provision school for young people who require something additional or alternative to the core that is offered by the mainstream sector.

The majority of our students come to us via one of 3 main pathways, as a permanently excluded student from a mainstream school in the district of Hyndburn, the Ribble Valley or Rossendale, via a referral from one of these schools when it is felt that a young person may benefit from one of our bespoke intervention packages, or by a consultant’s referral via a panel of professionals who decide that a young person may benefit from a short-term medical placement with us.

The Oswaldtwistle Way

  • We take responsibility for our own actions.
  • We treat others how we would like to be threated ourselves.
  • We are the best that we can be.
  • We wear our uniform with pride.

Safeguarding

The Oswaldtwistle School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all students regardless of age, gender, religion or beliefs, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or socioeconomic background.  The school provides a caring, positive safe and stimulating environment that promotes spiritual, moral, social and cultural development
