Risedale School recently celebrated the outstanding achievements of its top-performing pupils with two unforgettable reward trips. These festive adventures to York Christmas Market and the Georgian Theatre Royal were a testament to the school’s commitment to recognising and rewarding hard work and dedication.

A Magical Christmas Market:

On Thursday 12th December, the 29 highest Epraise-scoring pupils from Years 10 and 11 embarked on a journey to the enchanting York Christmas Market. This festive extravaganza offered a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in festive cheer, explore charming stalls, and indulge in delicious treats. All the pupils had a fantastic time and particularly enjoyed their complimentary hot chocolate.

A Pirate Adventure:

On Friday 13th December, the top 7 Epraise scorers from Years 7, 8, and 9 set sail on a pirate adventure at the Georgian Theatre Royal, Richmond. They were treated to a captivating performance of "Treasure Island," a classic tale of pirates, treasure, and adventure.

Head of House and Behaviour Specialist, Mr Gunnell, expressed his delight at the success of the trips. He said, "It was a pleasure to see so many of our top-performing pupils rewarded for their hard work and positive contributions to our school community. These experiences were a fantastic way to celebrate their achievements."

Mr Gunnell extended his sincere gratitude to all the staff involved in organising and accompanying the trips, particularly thanking Mr Meacher for his exceptional efforts in planning the Panto trip. He concluded by saying, "I hope these experiences will inspire our pupils to continue striving for excellence and to embrace all the opportunities that Risedale School has to offer."
