Rishworth School has a long and proud
history. It was founded and endowed by
John Wheelwright in 1724, and established in a modest but charming old building which
is now the Chapel. Today the School is very
different. It extends over 130 acres with
a wide range of buildings developed to
accommodate increasing numbers of pupils.
The School is a founder member of the Society of Headmasters of Independent Schools, established in 1951 with the blessing of the Headmasters' Conference
to preserve high standards in those schools privileged to be its members.
"The whole school is steeped in history, giving it so much character and presence."
