Excited to see 16 Ribblesdale Year 8s compete in the da Vinci Decathlon at Ampleforth College tomorrow! Ten disciplines, one big challenge, and plenty of brainpower on show. Proud of them! 🎨🧪

Mock exams are now underway for English, Maths & Science. These aren’t just tests, they build resilience, time management & self-belief, and give a chance for pupils to practice before the real thing. We're proud to see our pupils approach them with a growth mindset!

We’re incredibly proud of our Year 7s, who showed great effort, resilience and positivity during Exams Week. Across every subject they rose to the challenge with focus and determination, showing real commitment to their learning. A fantastic start for a brilliant year group!
