Refurbishment benefitting all
One thing that truly sets Rydal Penrhos apart is the school’s constant desire to improve the provision for our pupils as part of our long-term strategic development plan.
This is something that’s brought a significant amount of success both academically and through the wide range of extra-curricular opportunities available. Rydal Penrhos is not a school that stands still and our Senior Leadership Team, together with the Governing Body, have worked exceptionally hard in recent years to form a clear, concise plan to improve all areas of the campus.
This is done with the sole purpose of putting our pupils first and ensuring they get the most out of their education with us. Something that’s seen a significant rise in pupil numbers despite the recent challenges surrounding COVID-19.
Our facilities also played a substantial part in making Rydal Penrhos a safe, happy place where pupils can thrive, achieve or even exceed their goals. The school has a number of exciting projects in place to reinvigorate the campus, with the refurbishment of the impressive Fitness Suite also proving beneficial for pupils and staff alike.
The school’s staff worked tirelessly throughout the summer on improving the popular area, knocking down the wall between the previous Performance Centre and the Dance Studio to create a spacious setting with state-of-the-art equipment such as rowing machines, free and machine weights, exercise/peloton bikes and other impressive tools to increase conditioning.
Nicky Head, who is the Head of Physical Education at Rydal Penrhos, said: “This has already become a hugely popular facility and we’ve witnessed a surge of pupils using the Fitness Suite since the work to renovate it was completed.
“Not only does this enhance performance during sporting fixtures and other competitions for our aspiring athletes, but it also keeps our pupils focused inside the classroom and improves their overall wellbeing and mental health.
“Our sporting achievements are something everyone at Rydal Penrhos remains enormously proud of. Our new Fitness Suite will ensure this continues long into the future.”
