Governor's message
We currently find ourselves in extremely challenging times and with no timetable for re-opening schools at the moment, Ricards Lodge is still opening for students of critical workers and the most vulnerable children.
I have been impressed to follow the initiatives that the students and members of staff have been involved in each week, many of which have been mentioned in the local Wimbledon Times. These have ranged from goody bags filled with sweets and notes of kindness delivered to The Royal Marsden Hospital, to producing face visors from the 3D printers for frontline NHS staff. I know further projects are in the pipeline, including sewing kit wash-bags for the keyworker community.
On behalf of all the governors, I would like to thank Mrs Jerrard and all the staff, including all those behind the scenes, that have had to cope in recent weeks. The build-up before the closure was difficult, and it was no easy task at that time to keep the school open. We appreciate your dedication and commitment as ever, but particularly in the current time.
Thank you.
