South Craven School is a secondary school in Keighley, Yorkshire, England. It is a popular school and carries over 1700 pupils. In 2007 it celebrated its 50th anniversary. Students and teachers all dressed up in 50s clothes.
The school was opened on June 7, 1957 by Lord Boyle. It cost just £120,000 to build, with students leaving aged 15. Before it was built, local children attended Glusburn Elementary School and Hothfield Secondary, in Silsden. When South Craven School first opened, there were just 11 teachers, one headteacher and a secretary. The school now has 1,700 students and more than 200 members of staff.
It became a comprehensive in 1967 and the leaving age was raised to 16 in 1972. At the same time it established its own sixth form so students could stay on to take their A levels.
