We love hearing about and celebrating the achievements of our former pupils.

Mohammed Ibrahim Iqbal attended Rhyddings Business and Enterprise School between 2009 and 2014 and recently got in touch to share an update on his career journey.

Since leaving Rhyddings, Ibrahim has qualified as a Solicitor of England and Wales and now works as a Senior Solicitor, specialising in Family, Civil, Criminal and Immigration Law. He regularly represents clients in both the Magistrates’ Court and Crown Court. In December 2025, he was also appointed as a magistrate, enabling him to serve the community from a judicial perspective.

Ibrahim still lives in Accrington and remains proud of his roots. He says that the encouragement and support he received at Rhyddings helped give him the confidence to pursue his ambitions and continue his education. He would like to thank the staff who were at the school during his time here for the care, guidance and opportunities they provided.

We would like to congratulate Ibrahim on his achievements and wish him every success in his future career

If you are a former pupil, we would love to hear about your journey and achievements. Your story could help inspire our current generation of pupils. Please contact us at [email protected] .

Rhyddings via its extended services programme launched a creative arts initiative – ‘Journey Through Rail’

In collaboration with Community Rail and our resident artist, Alison Phelan, pupils have the opportunity to visit and explore cities and towns across the North of England.

As part of the project, pupils will be encouraged to capture their journeys through photography, documenting their experiences, discoveries, and reflections along the way. The photographs will then be exhibited at a Community Rail train station - ideally at Manchester Piccadilly station.

For our first visit, pupils from both Rhyddings and The Hollins visited the magical city of YORK.

One of the key aims of the project is to provide young people, particularly those who may not often have opportunities to travel beyond their local area the chance to explore new places beyond their postcode, broaden their horizons, and hopefully leave feeling inspired and transformed.

Our next destination is Skipton – which is considered the gateway to the Yorkshire dales.
