We are seeking resilient and forward-thinking people to support us to realise our Trust’s vision that every student will leave RTS with excellent academic outcomes and a clear purpose for the next stage of their lives.
We have already established a vibrant, inclusive school that provides an excellent experience for every member of its community. With currently 450 students across Years 7, 8 and 9 and growing to 600 in 2020/21, the years which follow promise to be a very exciting time. In a very competitive borough, admissions applications for a place at the school for the coming academic year were oversubscribed by nearly 2:1. Until 2021/22, when we are full, we will continue to grow into our permanent building and new sports centre (expected completion is 2021). The school is uniquely situated on the Richmond Education and Enterprise Campus with Clarendon Special School, Capella House School, Richmond Upon Thames College, and from 2022, the Haymarket Media Group. By the time the College moves into their new building in Spring 2020, our founding Year 7 will be coming to the end of Year 9 and looking onward to their chosen Key Stage 4 programmes of study.
Our first Ofsted inspection took place in January 2020 and we are delighted that the inspectors rated the school ‘outstanding’ for personal development and ‘good’ for the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness.
