BOARDING LIFE: photo gallery

Students spent a wonderful afternoon watching birds, butterflies and other insects in a real haven of tranquility just outside Ripon - the fabulous volunteer-run High Batts Nature Reserve & Site of Special Scientific Interest near North Stainley, followed by ice-cream at Ripley. Thank you to trustee and RGS director of strategic operations Mr Livesey for arranging

Our boarding house Siamese cat Neffie enjoys supervising students during prep time - and appears to take her role very seriously!

Ripon is perfectly located for fabulous day trips for our termly boarding students at the weekends - the latest to the historic city of York to see the cathedral, the Shambles and the National Railway Museum. So much on our doorstep!

Summer evenings bring fun and games, including Kwik Cricket, the Swedish game of Kubb, Swingball and some mindful gardening, the perfect way to relax and let off steam during exam season. And why not enjoy a roll down the grassy bank? Our students are making the most of their beautiful surroundings

Students enjoyed a day out at the stunning Fountains Abbey World Heritage Site - how lucky are we to have this on our doorstep?
