Year 10 English School’s Football Final
The incredible run has finally come to an end for the Year 10 footballers from Ribblesdale. After conquering the North of England the locals came unstuck against The Oasis Academy Shirley Park from Croydon, London.
Expectations were high going into the final of the English School Under-15 cup and with an unbeaten run stretching back 14 months the local boys were brimming with confidence. Looking resplendent in their new green and white kit the game kicked off in the superb surroundings of Pride Park, the home of Derby County FC. Cheered on by around 250 fellow pupils who had travelled down on coaches supplied by the school it was Oasis Academy who started the brightest. Packed with Crystal Palace Academy players from the highly successful link the school has with the professional outfit it was clear to see the difficulty of the task facing our boys.

Year 7 Cheerathon Fund Raising
Year 7 pupils at Ribblesdale High School have been trying something different as part of a new “House System” aimed at encouraging competition throughout the year. Earlier in the year pupils were asked to come up with house names and the most popular were places in the local area. There are 5 Houses- Waddington, Mitton, Edisford, Chatburn and Downham and each house was invited to take part in a “Cheerathon” where they were challenged to try cheerleading for the first time to try and set a school record for the most pupils cheerleading in the sports hall, all at the same time! A fantastic 195 girls and boys pupils took up the challenge and they were asked to get sponsored for the event to raise money for Ribblesdale’s highly successful cheerleading squad who now compete all over the North West.
