At Rishworth School, once you become part of our family, whether as a pupil, parent, staff member, or friend, that bond lasts for life. No matter when you left: last year, or decades ago, you are, and always will be, a Rishworthian.
Our alumni community is diverse, global, and proud. From shared memories of school days to career successes, friendships, and lifelong connections, every story helps shape the ongoing legacy of Rishworth.
Welcome to the Old Rishworthian Hub.
My name is Layla Ford, Alumni Events & Engagement Manager at Rishworth School.
My role is to reconnect Old Rishworthians, celebrate alumni achievements and create opportunities for former pupils to stay involved with school life.
Whether you'd like to attend events, share your journey, support current pupils, or simply reconnect with old friends, I'd love to hear from you.
Founded in 1724, Rishworth School has served generations of learners. Through centuries of change, our values remain rooted: integrity, kindness, ambition, and community spirit.
As alumni, you carry forward this heritage, honouring tradition while helping steer Rishworth into the future. Explore our past through archives and reminisce with fellow alumni from across the decades.
