Year 8 pupils at Ryedale have been crowned champions in not one but three sports over the last term! The school, known for it’s sporting excellence, continues to maintain their outstanding record of achievement as the current year 8 cohort are championship title winners in Netball, Basketball and Rugby.

The year 8 Rugby team became Scarborough and District Champions after they won all 6 of their games at the recent tournament held at Malton Rugby Club. The boys’ team showed off their sporting prowess, conceding only one try over the whole tournament, scoring a grand total of 41. The title recognises the talent and dedication of the team as well as the support they have received from team manager, parents and carers.

Meanwhile, the Year 8 girls’ Netball Team secured victory at the District Championships. Their gold-medal winning performance saw the team score 63 goals overall, conceding only 4 across the entire tournament. The team’s success continues to inspire students across the school and recently, the year 7 team also claimed a winning title at district level in their first ever tournament.

The schools’ trio of triumphs concludes with the Year 8 Basketball Team who this month, were crowned North Yorkshire County Champions. The team, frequently commended for their ongoing success in the sport, beat 53 school teams from across the County to secure the prestigious championship title. The team showed incredible dedication and sportsmanship throughout the tournament and remained an asset and outstanding example to the school.

We’re immeasurably proud of every one of the students, staff members, parents, carers and communities that have contributed to the sporting success at Ryedale School across the board. Long may the championship reign continue, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for these year 8 sports stars!
