Our The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Evening promises to be a wonderful showcase of the hard work, determination, and spirit shown by our Bronze, Silver and Gold participants.

The evening will feature several pupil and staff presentations, offering real insight into the DofE journey โ€” making it an ideal opportunity for current and prospective families to learn more about this highly respected programme.

Sports Day

Few days capture the spirit of Rydal Penrhos quite like Sports Day.
Bringing together pupils, staff, parents, and carers, it is a joyful celebration of athletic talent, house pride, and community spirit.

With the Prep and Senior House Cup competitions reaching their climax, every race, jump and throw will matter! We warmly invite families to join us for this thrilling day โ€” and weโ€™ll all be hoping for glorious sunshine to match the occasion.

Speech Day

Rounding off the first half of term, Speech Day is one of the most prestigious events in our calendar.

A true celebration of achievement, the evening will see the presentation of historic and highly regarded prizes, alongside inspiring speeches from our Heads of School, Theo and Ella, and other distinguished guests.

Speech Day encapsulates everything we stand for at Rydal Penrhos โ€” excellence, celebration, and realising the potential of our pupils.
