St Richard’s is a co-educational Catholic school offering an inclusive Christian education to pupils of all abilities from the ages of 11 to 16 years. It is our aim to encourage, support and develop every pupil in our care academically, socially and spiritually.
We have high academic standards at St Richard's, as our GCSE results consistently testify. We expect our pupils to work hard, behave well, dress smartly and pursue excellence in all that they do inside and outside of the classroom. We also aim to provide a happy, caring and safe environment in which pupils can learn and develop into rounded, responsible and confident members of the community.
Our efforts have not gone unnoticed. We are a Specialist Science School with High performing Specialist School status. We have a Prince’s Teaching Institute Art Mark, Leading Edge status, Fairtrade Fair Achiever Award status, an Artsmark Gold Award, a Space Education Quality Mark, Green Flag Eco-Schools Award and Investors in Careers at the highest level. Our interim Diocesan Inspection of March 2024 found that 'students articulated how much they valued the academic support and pastoral support that they have received during their time at St Richard's. We have also been awarded numerous times by the SSAT, currently holding Exceptional Education Awards, Engaging with Key Stakeholders, Climate for Learning, Leadership through Moral Purpose, Professional Development, Variety of Teaching Approaches, Exceptional Pupil Performance and, perhaps most pleasing, Exceptional Pupil Progress.
An OFSTED inspection in October 2021 graded the school outstanding in ‘Behaviour and Attitudes’, ‘Personal Development’ and ‘Leadership and Management’. Our results of 2024 place us, again, as the highest achieving school within the County and progress rates continue to be extremely strong, meaning the pupils at St Richard’s leave school with all the attributes they need to be successful and caring members of their communities.
All children are unique and precious individuals with different talents and aspirations, and our efforts are directed into ensuring that they feel both valued and challenged.
