quote of the month
RHS was far better prepared for the pandemic than many businesses were, and I think that is something of which the School should be rightly proud.

BOOK A TOUR
We have lots of alumni returning to RHS for a tour. If you would like to visit, please do let us know in advance, so we can give you a full tour. If you are passing and just pop in, we will do everything to accommodate you, but the tour might be shorter than if you had contacted us in advance.
From 5 November due to Lockdown Restrictions all visits to School have been suspended. However, if you wish to book a visit for a future date please contact Lucy Pembroke.
