Riddlesworth Hall has now become fully co-educational.
Riddlesworth now offers both girls and boys a full academic and pastoral programme .
Day places are available from Nursery through to Year 8 and boarding is available from Year 3 upwards.
The programme for boys, as well as girls, at Riddlesworth will aim to be as good as any on offer at other prep schools. Although, obviously, it will take a little time for the number of boys to grow, we would expect to offer boys, as soon as they reach the approprite year group:
- Sport - rugby, hockey, cricket, cross-country, orienteering, tennis, judo. Fixtures, mostly 7 or 9-a-side, against other schools in all major sports at U9, U11 and, in due course, U13 level. Mr Cochrane will take the lead in this, supported by other appropriately experienced staff and coaches (from both in and outside the school). Mrs Putt will continue to concentrate on girls' sports.
- Adventurous Pursuits - Derbyshire Dales, Snowdon, Ben Nevis, skiing, sailing, climbing wall. Most of this is already on offer.
- Music and Drama - currently offered and enhanced.
- Clubs and Societies - including model-making, chess, table tennis and ropes course.
We expect Riddlesworth to retain its character and all that is good within it. The atmosphere will change but the ethos will remain.
If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact the Headmaster, Mr Paul Cochrane, or the School Secretary, Mrs Debbie Last.
