Why teach in Richmond upon Thames?
Enthusiastic teachers, good facilities and resources, the committed support of members, parents and governors and the Local Education Authority all ensure that every pupil has a sense of joy in learning, and a pride in personal achievements.
Our teachers enjoy working in a small borough where communication is easy and professionally supportive relationships are quickly developed.
The London Borough of Richmond welcomes, supports and adds value to the growing diversity of the whole community and is committed to celebrating the cultural needs of those who live and work in the borough. There is a strong emphasis on the educational attainment of ethnic minority pupils.
Many of our schools have achieved:
- Beacon Status
- Artsmark
- Activemark
- Healthy Schools Status
- Sportsmark
- Investors in People
- DCSF Achievement Awards.
A commitment to the Advanced Skills Teacher initiative ensures a high level of continuing professional development and support, reflecting the Council’s commitment to a broad, balanced and creative education.
