With lockdown 3 upon us, we know digital marketing is more important than ever - both to keep your business going but to keep you busy too!

So, with that in mind, we are hosting a LIVE Q&A session over on our Instagram later this month. Emma and Jess will be streaming live to answer your questions and troubleshoot any issues you may be having so you can keep beavering away on your marketing strategy for 2021.

The latest digital marketing and social media webinars offering available under the Digital Advantage programme for this first quarter of 2021 are detailed below.  As you can see, it is quite substantial and covers a wide spectrum.  We hope it will be useful for those who wish to brush up their digital marketing skills or learn new ones. 

Students and staff at Richmond School and Sixth Form College have honoured Dave Clark, their much loved and greatly missed Deputy Headteacher, with two legacies. A Scots pine tree has been planted in the grounds of the school, creating a sense of Mr Clark keeping a watchful eye over everyone, whilst also acknowledging his Scottish roots. In recognition of the enormous contribution that Mr Clark made to sport at Richmond School and in the community, the newly-built 3G sports pitch has been named the Dave Clark Arena.

The Creative Arts staff at Richmond School and Sixth Form College were disappointed that they could not put on their usual Christmas extravaganza concert, traditional carol service and dance showcase this year. However, undeterred, they pulled out ‘all the stops’ to ensure the community didn’t miss out on being able to enjoy the outstanding music and dance by their exceptionally talented students.
