The Art and Design Department held its annual exhibition of work by Year 11, L6 and U6 pupils for their public examinations. The event was well attended by parents, pupils and invited guests, and many compliments were paid regarding the standard and variety of work exhibited. It was particularly pleasing to see so many Year 9 pupils who have opted to take the subject for GCSE next year, in attendance with their parents. |

Rishworth Catering receives Top Grade
To add to the successful inspection of boarding which, amongst many other areas, praised the standard of the School’s Catering, the standard of Food Hygiene in Rishworth School’s kitchen was also given Five Stars following an unannounced inspection by Calderdale Council. The Council applies these standards to restaurants, and any establishment offering food to the public, and its website shows that this highest mark is achieved by less than 20% of those food service providers. |

Peregrine update
| Great news! The three Peregrine chicks most local to the School have fledged in the past week, and are now being taught how to hunt by their parents. They’ll soon be flying the nest to make their own way in life! |

Less good news is the fact that, due to software difficulties, the camera on the other nest from which it was hoped live footage would be streamed was not commissioned. In the interim, that nest has been predated but the nature of the predation is uncertain. Unfortunately a lot of time and expense put in by volunteers proved to be for nothing this year!
It is hoped that the system can be transferred to a badger sett, and should be able to provide some footage in the fullness of time.
By the end of the breeding season, the Rishworth three were the only chicks raised in what has been a disastrous year in Calderdale. The security systems at Rishworth played a vital part in the protection program.
