Today we enjoyed a sunny day at The University of Sheffield with these brilliant people to start another round of the Scholars Programme, with The Brilliant Club. We’ve been learning all about university life, from the range of degrees available, to a wonderful campus tour by the university ambassadors.

Year 10 had a special visit from Ellie who is a Maths Ambassador at the University of Leeds.

What a busy and brilliant careers week. We've been considering the future at Options Evening, taking part in an Ackley Bridge TV shoot, and chatting online with real scientists. And it was great to hear the experiences of guests from so many fields of expertise.

On iDays, we suspend normal lessons for the day to give us time and space to explore all sorts of different learning experiences. The February, it was the turn of Year 8 and we had a brilliant time.

Ballot papers at the ready! Tomorrow is national election day for the UK Youth Parliament. UKYP was established to provide young people with a voice to bring about social change which will be listened to by the local, regional and national government.

Our annual taster day gave Year 11 students chance to explore the many paths and opportunities they might choose to pursue in the future.

We’re so proud of our amazing Science Tech Mrs Finch who won the Award for Outstanding STEM Technician of the Year at the House of Lords.

This Valentine’s day were so happy to join over 40 schools and businesses in Calderdale to #ShareSomeLove and raise money for the homeless with Calderdale SmartMove.

News just popped up, we are officially Guinness World Record title holders for our enormous toast mosaic back in July!

Nearly 100 Year 11 students came to after school revision yesterday. This is absolutely outstanding and shows the true spirit of endeavour that will make all the difference when the GCSE's arrive.

Year 9 and 10 had the honour of meeting Mike Haines OBE, who shared his personal story of his brother's death at the hands of ISIS. Out of this tragedy, he has been able to create something incredibly positive, the Global Acts of Unity campaign, promoting tolerance and understanding to fight against anger and prejudice. It was an incredibly moving morning and the impact that his story and message had on our students was clear.

This week we held our first Careers Week at Ryburn. As part of this, we were delighted to welcome professionals from a variety of careers into school to speak to students about their jobs, and the route that they took to get there.
