Who will Rishworth School suit?

Around a quarter of the 442 students are boarders, 75% of whom come from overseas. As a non-academically selective school, it fosters a family atmosphere and a strong interaction between teachers and pupils. Those with dyslexia, dispraxia and dyscalculia are welcome, but pupils with serious behaviour problems are not admitted. Those with sporting ability will thrive and there are excellent gym and physical fitness facilities.

Outcomes

Most move on to university. While considerable attention is given to making sure every pupil is placed according to their abilities, the school is proud that the highest achievers – including a recent musician who acquired over 800 university entrance points – can get into the very top institutions. Representation at national sporting level further indicates the consistently high standards of physical education tuition.

Settling-In at Rishworth School

The school has strong learning support, which it calls a ‘Particular Learning Needs Department’. Three-week short courses for international students to help them familiarise themselves with the UK environment are offered.

Interested in this School?

 My consultant was very helpful and motivating. She helped me every step of the way, even when the deadline was so close. I feel I could not have done it without her. I'd highly recommend this service to any and all of my many friends interested.
