This window celebrates the life of Alan Jenner a much loved former Headmaster of Rivington and Blackrod School. The theme of the window is taken from Mr Jenner’s favourite Psalm. There is a bible open at Psalm 121 showing the opening lines, “I lift up mine eyes unto the hills.” The backdrop for the window is a view of Rivington Pike, a distinctive landmark that lies behind the school.
The design is split into two panels:
The left panel depicts aspects of Alan Jenner’s academic, school and spiritual life. The colours of the border, blue, red and white are the school house colours. There is a stack of textbooks and a mortarboard showing his great learning. He was the Choral Master so some sheet music is shown with the music to the school’s leaver’s hymn. The bible with psalm 121 is shown atop the stack of books and the School Badge is pictured bottom left.
In the right panel the colours of the boarder are from Jesus College, Mr Jenner’s University. The design depicts aspects of Mr Jenner’s sporting and leisure interests. There is a rugby ball, a cricket ball, bat and wickets, a golf ball and a fly fishing lure. Mr Jenner was keen Rotarian and the Badge of the Rotary Club is shown in the bottom right.

A second window was designed and made for the Association of Old Rivingtonians to celebrate their centenary in 2004..
The window was designed by Andrew Seddon, Stained Glass Artist, and is inspired by the beautiful landscape of The Rivington moors and reservoirs.

The old stained glass windows in the school were also restored and cleaned before being protected with clear unbreakable polycarbonate sheets.
