Twickenham. Main pic 6th form, lots of first time voters. Year 9 full of good questions but Year 10 took prize for spelling out what they wanted from politics. We had a manifesto by the end! No time for pic cos busy signing books! Lower voting age!
Our Under 19 netball team had their first ever tournament today. Result? Undefeated Tournament Champions! An amazing result against some VERY prestigious opposition from the private sector

Best of luck to our Y13 students who are starting A Level exams today - you have worked hard and we are very proud of you. Don’t forget your teachers are here to offer support if you need it.
After a very challenging year, culminating in weeks of assessments, our lovely Year 11s finally get to have some fun today. Great to see some educational costumes in there too!

It’s that time of year again - Year 9 delivering speeches on subjects they care about. Topics include: family, feminism, being a ‘tomboy’, period shame and pointless (!) school rules

Ten students have travelled to Paris then on to Fountainebleau, ready to represent Richmond in a European Youth Orchestra this weekend. Bonne chance! 🇫🇷🎶
New staging has arrived for performing arts. Much excitement! Thank you to the PTA and also to our our parents who have contributed through concert tickets.
It’s so lovely to see the Sixth Form building busy and bustling again, as we welcome Year 13 back to lessons. Year 7 & 11 - it’s great to see you all for testing too. Looking forward to seeing you in the classroom tomorrow. We’ve missed you all!
Congratulations to our Sixth Form Receptionist, Mrs Allen, who completed the gruelling Thames Path Challenge 100km walk from Putney to Henley at the weekend. This is the third one she's done having raised hundreds of pounds for Marie Curie over the years. Well done!
Today on our Instagram page we are honouring the work of Mary Seacole (1805-1881) In 1991, she was awarded the Jamaican Order of Merit & in 2004, was voted the greatest black Briton. In 2016, a statue was erected in her honour at St Thomas' Hospital, London - a “pioneer”.

Huge congratulations to our Year 8 team (incl Salwa from Y7), who won the Brentford Community Sports Trust Euros tournament today. Played 8: won 8, scoring 38 goals and conceding only 2. An incredible performance 🏆
This is a great first step. Please can you prioritise ensuring that CAMHS services are properly funded and resourced, so that they will be able to support all the young people who desperately need them.
Move up Monday for our new Y7 intake- met their tutor, had music & language lessons, played bench ball (a Waldegrave favourite!) but best of all met lots of new friends!
We said a fond farewell to our wonderful Year 11s this afternoon. A fantastic event organised by Mr Sharp and Ms Larsson and featuring some inspirational speeches, particularly from our guest
@daisyayliffe
and Head Girl Zoha. Thank you to everyone for making it so memorable👏🏻🥹
Another set of goodbyes today this time to our Y13s many of whom have been with us since Y7! We have loved seeing all of them blossom into young adults & are so proud of them for their resilience and drive. Wishing them much luck for the next exciting stage of their lives!
