A group of diligent and dedicated Year 12 students, from Richmond Sixth Form College, have graduated from The Brilliant Club, a charity which aims to widen access for outstanding students in non-selective state schools to the UK’s most-selective universities. The students’ hard work was rewarded, following a four-month study programme, which culminated in them submitting a final assignment for assessment.

Richmond School and Sixth Form College, as part of the Areté Learning Trust, has been recognised as one of the region’s leading providers of high-quality careers support.  For the third consecutive year, it has achieved the prestigious ‘Quality in Careers Standard’, which acknowledges the exceptional support and advice that is available to students both in the School and the Sixth Form College.
