• We are always planning ahead and looking to the future - it's that time of year where we welcome Year 5 parents (or even Year 4) to our school for a series of Open Mornings. Meet our student ambassadors, tour the school, listen to a talk from the Head Teacher, Ms Dooley, ask any questions you may have about transition, secondary school; and how we do things differently at RTS. Book your places now via our website: https://www.richmonduponthamesschool.org.uk #secondaryschool #education #richmonduponthames #richmonduponthamesschool

• Year 11 Citizenship students took part in an informative session delivered by HMRC on the importance of tax. They learned about different types of taxes, how tax funds public services like the NHS and education, and how to spot tax-related scams. The session helped students understand their future responsibilities as informed citizens. #richmonduponthamesschool #secondaryschool #education #HMRC #hmrc #GCSE #gcse #citizenship

• Take us back! Sunshine AND snow! The inaugural RTS ski trip was an absolute blast! The group headed off to Sestriere in Italy's western Alps, near the French border, for the first week of the Easter holidays. They were thrilled to be greeted with fresh snow. Perfect conditions for our range of abilities to either learn for the first time, to brush up on forgotten skills, or to test and challenge their limits. #sestriere #schooltrip #skiing #education

• Content warning - Dissection in progress. Year 7 Science students have been studying the life cycle of a flowering plant, learning about the reproductive parts of a plant and following the steps of reproduction from pollination to fertilization, and finally to germination. Year 10 Triple Science Biology students have been learning about the role of the nervous system in bodily control and survival, with particular focus on the brain and the eye. Practical sessions, such as dissection, are vitally important in science and support our students with their learning. #secondaryschools #education #teaching #triplesciencegcse #dissection

• And we are back! As our new sessions of Enrichment start today, we look back to last term and congratulate our Year 9 students who successfully completed their First Aid Training with Ms Thomas during their Enrichment sessions. Well done! #schoollife #secondaryschools #education #firstaidtraining

• Happy Easter to all in our RTS Community. Don't worry - Mabel did not, and will not, have any chocolate as it's toxic for dogs. She is just a very good model! We hope that you are all enjoying the Easter break. See you back at school tomorrow - gates open 09:35, registration 09:55.
