Scalby School is a comprehensive school in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. It caters for boys and girls, aged 11–16, with around 980 on roll. The school was built in 1942, and the current Headteacher is David Read, who took over from Paul Tarn in September 2010.
In January 2011 Scalby was named the top school in Yorkshire, and 18th in England in the 2010 School League Tables using the CVA measure (Contextual value added).
On 5 July 2010 the school released a digital download Somewhere Over The Rainbow/Wonderful World, in an attempt to reach the charts. The song is a tribute to a young student of the school who raised over £25,000 with her friends, whilst battling against a brain tumour.
In September 2002 the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) awarded the school specialist school status as a Technology College.
In January 2009 the school joined the Outwood Grange College group of schools. A number of measures were introduced soon afterwards. In August 2009, the school achieved record results at GCSE, with some 61% achieving 5A*-C (including English and mathematics), the chief measure for English school league tables. This was a climb of 28% in one year, and placed the school top along the North Yorkshire coastal strip for raw results. In the same year there was a similar 5A*-C improvement, with the results reaching 85%. Over the summer a number of rooms have been refurbished, and two extra ICT suites created. A banner celebrating the results of the 2009 Year 11 Leavers awas hung on the front of the building, made up of student photographs taken at the school Prom. In the 2009 League Tables, published in January 2010, it was confirmed the school was top in Scarborough for the benchmark 5A*-C including English & mathematics. The school also climbed to 9th in North Yorkshire out of 42 secondary schools for Level 2 CVA, a measure of the progress made by all students.
