It is a common misconception that school moves must wait until September. At Rydal Penrhos, we take a more considered view — and know that the best time to move is when a child is ready.

At Rydal Penrhos, we believe that a transformative education should begin when the moment is right, not just when the term dates suggest.

At North Wales’ leading independent school, our Admissions team welcome new families throughout the year, including during the final weeks of the Trinity (Summer) Term.

With the school year concluding on Friday 4 July, this period can offer a meaningful opportunity for families considering a new direction.

Waiting until September may seem natural, but it is not always in a child’s best interests.

If a pupil is no longer feeling challenged, if confidence has begun to fade, or if school life has lost its joy, there is no need to follow the instinct to ‘wait it out’.

In many cases, a timely change can restore focus, energy and a renewed sense of purpose – before the new school year even begins.

By joining Rydal Penrhos now, pupils benefit from a gentle, supportive transition. With time to adjust, settle and build early friendships, they enter the next academic year already feeling the “strong sense of community” observed by Estyn. They return to school not as newcomers, but as confident contributors.

Our small class sizes, exceptional teaching and outstanding pastoral care mean that each pupil is known and valued as an individual. This makes it much easier for new pupils to settle in during these final weeks of term; a period that is rich in opportunity, with school trips, performances and outdoor learning providing a lively and engaging introduction to school life.

If the school is right, the timing is too. For those seeking real change, there is still time to begin this term.
