Eskdale School was a coeducational secondary school located in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England.[1] The school is named after Eskdale, a valley that runs from Whitby to Westerdale.

It was a community school administered by North Yorkshire Council.[2] From September 2017 it became an 11 to 16 school. This has increased the capacity of the school from September 2018.[3]

In February 2019 Eskdale School agreed to federate with nearby Caedmon College.[4]

The school also had an astroturf pitch which is still used by the local community.

In January 2023 plans were suggested – to close the school, and amalgamate with nearby Caedmon College. This moved forward in summer 2023 after consultation – and was decided from September 2024 the school would close and is set to become Whitby School and Sixth Form (with Caedmon College).

Eskdale closed on Friday 19 July 2024.
