first and foremost to nurture, enhance and accelerate
a student’s development in a manner ideally suited to
meeting the demands of higher education, the work
place and modern life
sport as an academic discipline or possible career
pathway. To this end we really look to develop the
vocational qualities of our BTEC students by
starting them on key coaching and officiating
pathways and by giving them access to excellent
opportunities in professional sport and leisure
settings.
Through an excellent personal development
programme, individual pastoral care and advanced
responsibility opportunities, Rishworth turns boys
into young, successful, purposeful men.
The independent and mature progress new
students often make following their entry into
the School can be quite remarkable and is a
consistent and positive observation made by
parents.
The School offers a broad range of GCSE subjects
and pupils achieve outstanding results - value
added scores at GCSE particularly highlight the
school’s commitment to each individual achieving
their full potential.
Sixth Form classes are small allowing students
to access an enviable level of individual care and
support alongside high quality teaching.
The recent introduction of a BTEC in Sport to
complement the existing A Level in Sport and PE
provides further opportunities for students on the
rugby programme who have an obvious interest in
