Richmond School & Sixth Form College

Working outside of the classroom really enhances a student’s learning experience. Many subjects offer residential and day visits, such as the Economics trip to the Houses of Parliament, the Music trip to Germany, History visits to Auschwitz and to historic sites in London, theatre visits through both Drama and English, fieldwork in Geography and Biology and study visits in Maths and the Sciences. Our students also visited and worked in an orphanage in India and helped provide water to a rural part of Peru. There is a robust tutor programme focusing on the school and Sixth Form values, using case studies, research and learning activities and input from visiting speakers to reinforce their importance. Tutor activities are also based on language for learning and current affairs on which the weekly in-house tutor quiz is based.
