LATEST NEWS
Swimming pool
We are very excited to announce that Richmond Park School’s swimming pool has been officially inaugurated on 27 October. Our team of swimming instructors, led by Marta García, comprises: Eduardo Carranza, Luis Javier Herrera and José Luis González. The first classes have been very successful. The programme is based on key objectives for each age range within a specific time schedule. All the swimming pool activities form a pillar of our overall sports programme. We hope that over time and with improved circumstances, we shall be able to expand the programme in terms of more classes, competitions and a wider variety of pool-based sports.
Kitchen
We are delighted to inform you that we began using our outstanding kitchen facilities in the week beginning on the 19 October. AP Colectividades, who use and effectively supervise our kitchen and dining room, will now be able to fully exploit one of the key spaces in our school.
Initial feedback from both pupils and staff has been very positive. We are very confident this change will lead to a major improvement in the quality of catering.
Halloween
On Friday 30th October, Richmond Park School celebrated Halloween. Corridors and classrooms had some amazing decorations!
We had werewolves, witches, skeletons and ghosts making mischief all over the school. All classes participated in fun activities, which included Halloween songs, art and stories. Pupils and teachers came to school in some very scary costumes indeed and we all had a ‘FRIGHTFULLY’ good day!
Thank you once again for your cooperation in helping us make this such an enjoyable event.
iPads
We are pleased to inform you that all pupils in Primary and Secondary school are currently being trained to access and use their individual iPads. This programme has been carefully planned to ensure they acquire all the required digital learning skills and make full progress within our blended learning programme. This exciting long- term initiative will allow pupils to learn in many different ways within the school’s learning spaces, at home and elsewhere.
