'Rise up, take courage and do it.' Ezra 10:4
A Welcome from our Headteacher
On behalf of the Rishton Methodist School family, I warmly welcome you to our website. We are a friendly and caring church school with amazing children, dedicated staff, supportive parents and governors, and we are always a place where ‘we watch over one another in love’ (John Wesley).
Pupils’ academic and personal progress, and their wellbeing, are equally valued here at Rishton. Our hardworking pupils thrive in our setting, and our staff team go above and beyond to value, and meet the needs of every child. We also recognise that by nurturing and supporting the wellbeing of our staff, we create a positive and sustainable environment where both adults and children can flourish together.
Our rich and exciting curriculum, with many opportunities for adventure and challenge, promotes a sense of awe and wonder, while encouraging children to think deeply, respect others’ views and develop confidence in who they are.
Rishton Methodist children are always ready to ‘Rise up, take courage and do it’, approaching each day with resilience and a positive attitude to school life. They learn to treat one another with respect and kindness, value difference, and understand their role as active and responsible citizens within modern Britain and the wider world.
At Rishton Methodist School, we are proud of our strong sense of community. We have close partnerships with our church, and our local and global communities, which help our pupils to live out our Christian vision. Through these experiences, children learn to celebrate diversity, stand up for what is right, and make a positive difference in an ever-changing, interconnected world.
I hope that you will find the information on our website useful, giving you a glimpse into life at our school. If you would like to come and see our school in action, then please get in touch, and I would be proud to show you around.
Best Wishes,
Mrs Higgens
