Awarding fully funded places, supported by the Donald Hughes Trust
Preparations are in progress for Assessment Day 2022 tomorrow, on the basis of which Fully Funded Places will be awarded.
Fully Funded Places at Rydal Penrhos are supported by the Donald Hughes Trust. The Trust extends the possibility of a Rydal Penrhos education to children who wouldn't otherwise have had the opportunity to come to our school. In doing so, it makes our school an even richer and more vibrant environment in which pupils can thrive.
The Donald Hughes Trust is a vital part of the School's charitable work, ensuring that Rydal Penrhos remains firmly rooted in the local community.

The Donald Hughes Trust takes its name from the inspiring Head of Rydal School between 1946 and 1967.
It's helped generations of pupils to attend Rydal Penrhos, forming part of the School's historic tradition of philanthropy.
Donald Hughes led Rydal School through its post-war years, in which food was still rationed, and the Memorial Hall was built under his Headship. Like Connie Smith, the inspiring Head of Penrhos in the same period (1938–66), he left behind a generation of pupils who would remember his ceaseless energy, ‘sincerity of purpose’, and personal kindness.
