Justice, equality and inclusion.
We are an inclusive school, we aim to celebrate differences and diversity whenever possible and ensure that all students have an equality of access.  Justice in school ensures everyone has what is right and fair. We act out of concern for each other in our school community as well as the world in which we live. Working for equality, inclusion and justice encourages all of us to have hope for the future.

Compassion
At Selby High School we strive to show compassion in all we do, by being thoughtful to the needs of others in our school community and beyond.

To encourage appreciation of the democratic process, we ran a mock EU referendum in June 2016 with all students having an opportunity to cast a vote. It was a close call . . .
