Risedale School is thrilled to congratulate alumna Charli Wilkins on her recent writing award from Darlington College's Gifted Writers' group.

Charli, a former pupil at Risedale, was recognised for her exceptional submissions to the College's writing group, showcasing her creativity and dedication to the craft.  Her work, along with other talented writers, is being considered for inclusion in a forthcoming anthology, a testament to the high calibre of writing being produced.

Charli's achievements highlight the strong foundation in English and creative writing she received here at Risedale. Her success serves as an inspiration to current pupils, demonstrating the potential that lies within each of them.  We’re incredibly proud of Charli and wish her continued success in her writing endeavours.

"We are absolutely delighted for Charli,"  said Miss Roberts, Senior Teacher and Head of English at Risedale School. She was always a talented writer with a gift for storytelling, and it's wonderful to see her continuing to excel. This award is a well-deserved recognition of her hard work and passion."

Risedale encourages all pupils to explore their talents and pursue their passion for writing.

Congratulations Charli, well done from the entire Risedale Family!
