Welcome to the new decade at Ricards Lodge High School.

I hope you had a good Christmas break and enjoyed the first few weeks of 2020.

This edition is full of information and updates to keep you in the loop with everything we have going on this year.

You will find a special focus on health and well-being, something we all need to take seriously, whatever stage of life we are at. As ever can I thank you for your continued support and encouragement.

Celebrating Wellbeing at Ricards

The school is continuing its good work in working towards the Healthy Schools London Gold Award this term which has included:

We will also be holding our first conference on wellbeing for parents/carers on the 19^th March 2020 which will focus on supporting your child/children on their wellbeing and learning.

The Wellbeing team

Year 12 and 13 students have had a positive term in RR6.  Year 13 students have worked extremely hard for their internal mock examinations, which gives them a good opportunity to evaluate their progress and practise applying the material they have learnt in the curriculum so far.  They have also worked hard on their personal statements for their university applications.

Our successful 'First Aid Friday' programme started again this year and ran for 8 weeks every Friday during tutor time. All Year 12 students were introduced to the basics of first aid with the support of a course of videos and tutorials produced by St John’s Ambulance along with an assembly where they were able to practice CPR.

The RR6 Open Evening was hosted on the Ricards Lodge site in November with a record number of prospective students and their parents/carers attending. 

This term, we look forward to seeing our current students continuing to grow and develop with their learning and confidence, the interviews with our prospective new students and hearing about the various external educational opportunities the students will be experiencing.
