Sponsored Walk Update
Today, we were delighted to hand over cheques to the two charities supported by this year’s Sponsored Walk, Horticap and New Beginnings.
Each charity received over £4,400 thanks to the incredible generosity and effort of our school community. Both organisations were thrilled and very grateful for the support!
La Vie / Vida de Rossett
We're pleased to share the second edition of La Vie / Vida de Rossett, the magazine created by our talented students in Languages Club.
This issue focuses on the theme of festivals and features a mix of student-written articles and highlights from events we've held throughout the year.
Rossett Adult Learning
Rossett Adult Learning is a division of our school offering a wide range of part-time courses designed for adult learners who want to learn for pleasure. As an entirely self-funded centre, all profits go directly back to school to benefit our students.

This is a fantastic opportunity for students to build confidence and learn new skills. The course will cover:
- Babysitter and family rights and responsibilities
- Accident prevention
- Baby care skills
- Child protection issues
- Personal safety
- Handling home emergencies
- First aid training including the recovery position, infant and child resuscitation, choking, dealing with injuries and defibrillator training

Saint Michael’s is a local hospice care charity providing vital support to individuals and families affected by terminal illness across the Harrogate district and we know it is a cause that holds a special place in the heart of our community.
