We’ve come to the end of another academic year. What a lovely last term it’s been, with lots to reminisce about. Memories and friends were made at our annual Year 7 Camp. Our Acting Academy’s hard work and effort paid off and they put on a wonderful performance of ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ at the Viaduct Theatre in Halifax. We’ve welcomed our soon-to-be Year 7 students and their families into the school for Transition Evening and given them a taste of Ryburn life with Transition Day. And we can’t forget our amazing Academy Awards!

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.

It was an incredibly moving morning and the impact that his story and message had on our students was clear.
