15/04/2026 Top News

Risedale School has officially launched the 'Beyond the Barracks' mentoring programme, partnering with York St John University to help Year 10 service pupils explore their post-16 options and plan for the future.

As part of our Month of the Military Child celebrations, we were delighted to welcome Abbie and her team of University Student Mentors from York St John University to Risedale School today! ๐ŸŽ“โœจ

They have officially launched the 'Beyond the Barracks' mentoring programme for our Year 10 pupils. This fantastic initiative will see Abbie and her team visiting us weekly to explore how different aspects of service life can impact and shape post-16 journeys. ๐Ÿš€

In today’s first session, our pupils took a deep dive into the specific post-16 options available, helping them plan for a bright and successful future. ๐ŸŒŸ

We are so proud of our military community and can't wait to see our Year 10s grow through this partnership! Stay tuned for more information and events as we continue to celebrate the Month of the Military Child.
