School makes top 100 list
We have been named as one of the top schools in the country by a leading cricket magazine.
The Cricketer has placed Rydal Penrhos in their top 100 schools in Britain after being selected from 500 applicants to feature in the November issue entitled “The Playing Fields of England: An A-Z Guide to the Summer Game’s Top 100 Schools”, which will appear both in-print and online.
Mr Boyd, said: “This is a tremendous honour and one that I hope will be very beneficial to the school.
“We are working hard at to give potential sporting stars the best platform to help them fulfil their potential, and it is fantastic to see the hard work we have put in throughout the year recognised by such a respected magazine such as The Cricketer.”
It has been a hugely busy year for the department, which recently became the North Wales hub for the prestigious Marylebone Cricket Club Foundation.
The MCC will fund three coaches for 25 two-hour sessions at the school for under 13 and 15 players, which equates to a session every week in the off season, with Menai Bridge duo Dion Holden and Jack Gower leading the programme alongside Mr Boyd.
The school has also invested in an outdoor nets area which is currently under construction, and high-profile visitors throughout the year include former England international Gareth Barry and cricketing icon Andrew Flintoff.
