We have an incredibly wide and diverse programme of over 90 enrichment and extension activities that are available to students per term.
PASTORAL
Rishworth prides itself on excellent standards of pastoral care. The welfare of our children is paramount and this is reflected in our ISI inspection reports. The staff are committed to guiding and supporting our pupils in the School’s values and vision. Each form teacher is responsible for the pastoral welfare of their pupils and is the main point of contact for parents. Form time occurs first thing in the morning and immediately after lunch and this allow pupils to build positive relationships with their peers, and our small class sizes enable us to really get to know the children.
