This evening provides Year 9 pupils and their families with a first look at the GCSE journey. Following a welcome from our Principal and Vice-Principal (Director of Studies), families will have the opportunity to speak with subject teachers and learn more about what GCSEs entail. With Rydal Penrhos pupils achieving A* grades at four times the national average, there is no better environment in which to undertake this crucial course of study.

The Winter Ball, the most significant Friends of Rydal Penrhos School (FORPS) event since its re-establishment last year, promises to be the social highlight of the season. With fantastic entertainment, delicious food, and plenty of festive cheer, this black-tie event is open to parents, friends, and family.
