The event brought together pupils, parents and a line-up of compelling speakers, all committed to opening minds and sparking curiosity about the future world of work.
RHS Living
We inspire our pupils to have the courage to be ambitious for their futures and the commitment to pursue whichever path they choose.
We offer a flexible range of day and boarding options to suit modern family life, from full and weekly boarding through to ad-hoc boarding bundles. Our boarding and day houses provide the heart to our pastoral care, led by a house parent and a fully staffed team to support pupils throughout the day and night.
Part of a Community you will never forget
Our Houses are the heart of school life and great emphasis is placed on a close partnership between pupil, school and parents.

Being part of this school community has allowed me to reach for the sky, find myself as a person, chase opportunities and in some cases allow opportunities to find me. My motivation to achieve my dreams will continue long after RHS.

At RHS, we aim for all our pupils to realise their full potential, enjoy their experience of learning and be empowered with the knowledge, skills, confidence and strength of character to go on to lead purposeful and happy lives.

We chose RHS for a combination of reasons, but particularly for the outstanding music provision. We also liked the ethos and atmosphere, and chose RHS over a similar school because of the values, the feel of the school, and the attitude of the headmaster and other key staff.
