Thank to Ms Garrick for the following: 

“A group of Year 12 Economics and Business students visited London for the day recently. The focus was to increase understanding of economic policies and political influences on businesses in the UK economy. 

Following a tour around parliament, the students had a sit-down Q&A session with Rishi Sunak. Some great questions were asked regarding Rishi's time in office, fiscal policy and climate change regulations. 

The students then visited the Bank of England where they explored the museum and learnt about monetary policies and the importance and creation of currency. They also held a gold bar which was very heavy! 

During down time, the students visited Covent Garden and took part in some escape rooms where they built their teamwork skills.  

Overall, it was a brilliant day, and the pupils were a genuine pleasure and represented Richmond Sixth Form College brilliantly!” 

In another installment of our almost-regular series of alumni profiles, we hear from Grant Dalton, currently working at the Ministry of Finance and Planning in Zanzibar, an island off the coast of East Africa. He tells us of his journey from Richmond to Africa via Oxford University, giving us a candid and enlightening assessment of Zanzibari office etiquette along the way - read on!  

Describe your time at and your memories of school / college.  

I was at Richmond School from 2008 until 2015, including a year at the old Lower School and seeing the building and renovation of lots of the school buildings. I remember school as being a constant churn of change, emotionally, physically and socially. I was quite an anxious kid and very nerdy so didn't always find social life easy, but I made some good friends and learned a lot.  

I loved languages so really enjoyed French with Madame Norman (including seeing Paris for the first time on the wonderful Year 12 Paris trip), the weird and wonderful world of learning Latin, and English with Miss Montgomery, especially being introduced to things like the Handmaid's Tale and Angels in America which felt very radical for Richmond! But my favourite was definitely history, which Mrs Mawer really brought to life. And a special shout-out to Mr Braham, my form tutor, who gave me one of my few detentions for drawing a rude cartoon of him!!  

I also did a lot of school music and drama, including the brass band (I'm afraid my trombone has been sitting gathering dust for about a decade now) and musicals like the Wizard of Oz. Playing the postman-turned-Nazi Rolf in The Sound of Music was my highlight!  

But I'd be lying if I said school was always easy. When we were in sixth-form one of my friends, Aaron Booth, one of the kindest, smartest and funniest kids in school, passed away, which was a huge shock to the whole school. I don't think any of us really knew how to deal with his death and I still think about him a lot, as I'm sure lots of us do.  

What did you do straight after school?  

I went straight to university to study History at Oxford. I loved it - the academic side was really interesting, with loads of time to really understand and read up on what you were studying and then discuss it in depth, and I made a lot of great friends. I also met my partner who I'm still with today, who was doing the same course. Definitely no regrets, although I probably spent more late nights in the library than would have been ideal! But lots of fun late nights doing other things too...  

I really enjoyed doing lots of pre-modern history, and was pretty good at it. My thesis - on European travellers dressing up as Muslims in the 1670s in modern-day Iran and Turkey - won the Joan Thirsk Prize for the best pre-modern thesis in the university, and I finished 6th out of my year of 250 students.  

Socially, Oxford felt difficult at first, especially with the dominance of private school kids in humanities subjects. But it was also easier in some ways than other universities as we were living, eating and studying on a small site with the same group, so it was easy to get over superficial differences and make good friends.  

What did you do next?   

I felt a bit lost leaving university - I knew I didn't want to be an academic, but didn't know what else to do. In the end I worked for the government for a little bit and then a think tank, which is a sort of institute advising the government, for nearly four years in London. I loved London and the institute was a great place to work, but I felt like I wanted to do something more impactful and international.   

So, I did a master's degree in Economic Policy for International Development at the LSE, which really made me realise that I wanted to work on policy and government in developing countries - countries with lots of poverty, mainly in Africa and Asia. I did a job for a year working between the UK and Sierra Leone and then in late 2025 made the move to Zanzibar.  

What are you doing now?  

In 2024 (unsuccessfully) and 2025 I applied for a scheme called the ODI Fellowship. The Fellowship has been running since the 1960s and pairs young economists and statisticians with governments in poor countries, who apply to have a 'fellow' posted to work as a civil servant for two years.  

I was matched with the Ministry of Finance and Planning in Zanzibar. Zanzibar is an island chain off the coast of Tanzania, full of tropical forests, monkeys and white sand beaches. It's become a popular holiday destination in recent years from Europe, but remains among the poorest places in the world, with about half the population living on less than $2 per day.   

I work with the Commissioner for External Finance to help Zanzibar attract and make good use of money from foreign governments, charities and loans from private banks to spend in Zanzibar. The job involves sitting in a lot of meetings with people from the German government or the World Bank; visiting sites where programs are being run or new roads or houses are being built; and supporting the team on things like Excel skills, improving the way we track projects, or writing briefings for the minister.  

It's a fulfilling job but also a very hard one. It's very self-directed - I don't really have a boss or a job description - and as a result it's often hard to find useful work to do. The office is quite dysfunctional, with people out of the office frequently, most work done in person or over the phone rather than email, and lots of hierarchical and bureaucratic rules. I've spent a lot of time sitting doing nothing or pushing for things which go nowhere in the past few months. And culturally I don't fit in. All of my colleagues are Zanzibari, devout Muslims with (for men) usually multiple wives. Burping and watching TikToks in the office is very tolerated. They don't know that I'm gay, and probably wouldn't like it if they did. And most meetings are conducted in Swahili, which I'm learning but can't really speak properly yet. So it can sometimes be very frustrating!!  

Do you have any other interests or roles - hobbies, volunteering, family etc?   

My interests have changed quite a lot out here - lots of scuba diving and time spent on the beach which are hard to do in the UK! I play a lot of racket sports, usually tennis and squash at home but have learnt padel here which I'm enjoying. I also enjoy reading - I'm aiming to read a book a week this year, although rapidly falling behind - and cooking elaborate meals.  

I also have just got my first car, which is fun - I never had space for one in London. It's a battered Japanese Toyota from the 1990s but it can survive anything, including a couple of scrapes I've already inflicted. But my friends taught me how to change a tyre when I got a flat recently which makes me feel like a proper adult!  

What are your plans for the future - near and more distant?   

I'm really not sure! I still have 18 months to go on the fellowship so trying not to worry too much about the future. But aiming to be back in the UK, most likely in London, when I'm done, and maybe try to get a job with the Foreign Office or with an interesting charity or NGO.  

I also am looking forward to reuniting with my partner, who is still based in London, and hopefully getting married at some point in the next few years.  

Looking back, what advice would you have for our current students?   

Don't limit your ambitions! There are all sorts of options and careers out there, and it's hard to know about them until you're there. But if you're really committed to do something, whether it's a certain course or apprenticeship you want to do or your dream job, there will be a way to do it.  

I would also say don't worry if you don't know what that dream job is. It has taken me four jobs and two degrees to find something that really aligns with what I want to do (and I still have plenty of doubts...) and a lot of that is just trial and error. It's okay to not know what you want to do.  

Finally - have fun at school. I think I was too in my head about friends and anxious about the future to really enjoy a lot of school and I regret it. It's such a pleasure to just be able to hang out with your mates and not something that is so easy to find time for as you get older, so enjoy it!! 

Izabel was nominated by Mr Wilson who said: “I asked Izzy if she would consider mentoring Izzy Fisher (9JMO) a couple of months ago, as I discovered in chatting to each of them that they both had an ambition to study/work in psychology. 

I have been overjoyed by how well this relationship has developed.  Izzy has gone above and beyond in advising, guiding and preparing materials for Izzy Fisher, who has, in turn, been incredibly mature and receptive to the scheme. 

Maybe it could be something that could be rolled out to other students with a common vocational dream next year.” 

In the latest installment of our semi-regular series of alumni profiles, we hear from Alice Brown, currently studying Film Production at the University of Salford. She had contacted Mrs Weston, one of her media studies teachers at Richmond, telling her about a short film she had written and directed, and recently filmed in Teesdale. We were very keen to find out more, and Alice was kind enough to spend some time looking back and telling us about her time at Richmond, what she’s been doing since she left. Read on! 

Describe your time at and your memories of school/college 

I started at Richmond School in 2016 and stayed until the end of Sixth Form. Throughout my time there, I felt a distinct gap between what I liked and what I didn’t. I was rubbish at maths and science and retrospectively apologise for making it everyone else’s problem! But I loved the creative subjects - English, drama, media and art. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved writing and creating stories, and I was really thankful that certain teachers at Richmond School saw some potential in me and helped me explore it. Specifically, during my GCSEs, I spent a lot of time in the drama studio with Mr Birdsall, where I loved every lesson and did as much extracurricular drama as I could. This is where I got my first chance to co-direct something, working with the younger students to put on a play, and that’s when I realised I loved it so much. Then, in Sixth Form, media was my absolute favourite subject. Ms Dunwoodie and Mrs Weston were amazing teachers and made every lesson simultaneously interesting, helpful and hilarious. 

I made a music video for my A-level, which was the first production I did singlehandedly and cemented my love for filmmaking. Film as a medium has been everything to me since I was a kid, but it wasn’t until I did my media A-level that I realised it could actually be a real possibility. In college, I also made an EPQ about cinema politics, which ended up being a twenty-minute film retrospective and still, to this day, one of the things I’m most proud of making. I also remember winning the headteacher's value award for my EPQ, which was the first time my film work was properly rewarded. Although it was just something small, it gave me a great confidence boost. Although I have many amazing memories of school, I also struggled quite a lot with my mental health and question whether I would’ve ended up on the path I am today without the tireless help of people like Mrs Macey, who were always there for me to make me smile, even when I didn’t realise I needed help myself!  

What did you do straight after Sixth Form College? 

Right after college, I was meant to go to university to study film production, but I decided, a week before move-in date, that I wasn’t ready to go. So, I spent a year working in a cafe and quietly developing my skill and love for filmmaking, ready to go again the next year. I am incredibly glad that I made this decision because when I did get to university, I was much more self-assured and happy in my life. Moving away from home into the big city felt less of a leap of faith.  

I am currently studying film production at the University of Salford, a university that I am very proud to have been accepted into. Salford University is a standout for creative courses in the country, specifically film and television, and their film production course is one of the most sought-after courses in the UK. Most of my lessons are in MediaCity, in the same building where the BBC and ITV film, so it is very interesting to see how the industry really works. We get to use equipment that I never even dreamed of getting my hands on - film cameras that are worth upwards of £100k and high-industry technology - and we’re given the freedom to create whatever we want with it. So far, I have written and directed three films, edited one and worked on others.  

My current project, and the one I am most proud of, is a short film I have written and directed called ‘Among the Trees’. It follows the story of a grieving man who lives isolated and alone and descends into madness when he starts to believe that a tree in his garden is his late wife reincarnated. I wrote the story as a love letter to nature and its cathartic power, as well as a love letter to home. Somehow, I managed to convince my crew of ten filmmakers from all over the country to travel up north to Teesdale, not far from Richmond, to film there for a week. We brought all our expensive and fragile equipment to a stunning location near Barnard Castle and slept over in a nearby village hall for five nights. Without a doubt, it was some of the most fun I’ve ever had, even though we had hundreds of schedule changes due to the ever-tumultuous English weather. It was a pleasure to direct such a lovely and dedicated crew, as well as our fabulous actor, Jasper, who I actually found from the Richmond Amateur Dramatics Society. Among the Trees is my favourite film I have worked on, and I am very proud of myself and my team. We are going to submit it to national and international film festivals, including the Tees Valley International Film Festival, over the next two years and will, hopefully, win some awards and get to travel on the festival circuit. The film has its own Instagram account and will be available to the public soon. So far, we’ve received high praise from our supervisors and our peers, and it is extremely rewarding for a creative endeavour of mine to be so well-received. As the university gives us no funding to make our films, we are still short of cash on the project, but we have a GoFundMe link for any kind donations, and we’ve been tirelessly fundraising at the university with bake and craft sales. Though the film hasn’t been the cheapest to make, I think the end product is worth all of the expense and hard work we’ve put into it.  

What are your plans for the future - near and more distant? 

I am going into my third year of university now and already have a crew picked out and ready to make our final film, for which I have already started writing the story. It’s going to be the biggest thing we’ve all ever made and will take more hard work and determination, but remarkably, I am extremely excited for it and can’t wait to dive right in. As well as working on that main project, I have signed up to direct a different short film over the summer and to work on some music videos. Also, in my spare time, I post editing projects on my film Instagram account ‘@alpalproductions’, which has recently been doing very well and getting millions of views around the world. From this account, I’ve been contacted by a director in Texas and have been creating promotional material for his film. In the distant future, my dream is to become a full-time screenwriter working for a production company and do as much of my own editing and directing on the side as I can. Though I love directing, I think that writing is my main passion - this summer, I am hoping to get a book that I have written over the last two years ready to be published. Filmmaking and writing for film will always be my dream job, and has been since I was a child. It’s definitely something that I have learnt to love through college and university and even English lessons in school, and something that I would like to pursue for as long as I can.  

Looking back, what advice would you have for our current students?  

My advice to current students would be to keep pursuing what makes you happy and learn as much as you can about it, because then opportunities will find you one day, regardless of how small the world feels when you are still in school! Additionally, growing up it felt like the creative subjects were constantly being put on a back-burner and regarded as much less important than others - if I had believed that they were less important, than I wouldn’t have realised that there was an entire world of creative people, places and opportunities out there for me to explore, so I think that if you are creatively predisposed, you mustn’t convince yourself to change for anyone else. 

Year 11 and Year 13 students at Richmond are in the process of finalising their plans for next year. This could be staying at Richmond Sixth Form College to study A Levels or their equivalent, or to move to a local college to do the same. It could involve progression to university for Year 13 students, an apprenticeship, or directly into employment. 

This year, three of our GCSE and A Level dance students are realising their ambitions by progressing onto dance and performing arts courses at three different centres. These courses are highly competitive, with a large number of potential students going through what can be a grueling interview and audition process, competing for a limited number of places. 

We caught up with the three students: Amelie Harte and Lillyanna Navuso, Year 13, and Esmée Campbell-Watt, Year 11, to find out a bit more – read on! 

First, we talked to Amelie and Lillyanna: 

RS: According to the information I received from Mrs Fox, you have a place on the Contemporary Dance Performance course at the London Contemporary Dance School, Lillyanna. She said that this was ‘HUGE!’ - one of the most influential dance education spaces in Europe, and she doesn’t think a Richmond student has been successful getting onto the course in over 15 years – congratulations! 

LN: Thank you! 

RS: And Amelie, you have a place on the BA Musical Theatre course at The Performers College, a specialist performing arts institution – also congratulations! 

AH: Thank you! 

RS: This is the end of the application process – can you take us back to the beginning? 

LN: You have to apply to some dance conservatoires directly via their websites rather than through UCAS, so that’s how I applied for the London Contemporary Dance School, the Northern School of Contemporary Dance and Rambert. I also applied to Trinity Laban via UCAS Conservatoires. 

RS: Ok, thank you. And Amelie? 

AH: I applied for Italia Conti, Addict Academy, Performers College, Dance Box Academy and Bird College. I was offered a place at Performers and Dance Box, and I’m still waiting to hear from Bird. Bird is my first choice, but I spent the day at Performers yesterday, and it was really good, so that’s now definitely my second – it's going to be a tricky choice! 

RS: Lillyanna – tell us about your audition at the London Contemporary Dance School. 

LN: The London Contemporary Dance School has several audition centres around the UK, so I attended my audition at a centre in Newcastle. They called it an ‘Admissions Workshop’, I guess to make it a bit more chill than the traditional high-pressure audition process. When I went to Rambert It was a bit different – a proper audition. People sat behind tables taking notes as they watched you – no interaction - quite hostile, actually! Anyway, at Newcastle they went through what it’s like to be on the course, then we did workshops focusing on different styles of dance – ballet, contemporary, then at the end, Afro fusion. 

RS: Ok, but how did they judge your skills in this workshop context? 

LN: They watched us as we danced and asked us to go across the floor one-by-one. They also had us do small group work to see how we worked in a team. They were really looking to see how versatile we were as dancers. 

RS: What was a highlight for you during the day, something that you think made you stand out? 

LN: It was the workshop at the end. I hadn’t really done Afro fusion before, but I felt as though I picked it up quite quickly and understood how the dancing worked – that was definitely a high point for me. 

RS: So, after the day they offered you a place. Did you get offers from anywhere else? 

LN: Yes, the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. 

RS: So, an easy choice between London and the Northern? 

LN: No, not at all! I really like the city of Leeds and it’s quite close to home. I also felt like I knew the place, having been to an audition there – I hadn’t visited London, so I didn’t know it. I really like the course in London, though, so that swayed me towards them. 

RS: So, Amelie. Tell us about your audition at Performers. 

AH: It was more of a traditional audition – quite intense! It was good to be called down to Essex, though, because the others asked for self-tapes where you had to film yourself doing solos or set motifs. For example, for Italia Conti you had to do a ballet and a jazz class online. They watched the videos and assessed whether you were good enough to get through to the next round. It was good to be there in person at Performers! 

RS: I guess it’s all part of their filtering process. What did you have to do at Performers? 

AH: I had two singing solos, two monologues, and a dance solo. Then there was a commercial class, a ballet class, and two jazz classes – it was a long day! 

RS: And a highlight? 

AH: I felt that the jazz and commercial classes were my strongest. They asked us to do some improv, which I quite enjoy, so that was probably my highlight. There was also an interview at the end that I thought went well. 

RS: And did anything not go so well? 

AH: The dance solo could have gone better, I think. All the other candidates were watching as you performed, so it was quite hard – especially as I was first up! 

RS: And Lillyanna – something that didn’t go so well for you? 

LN: That was at Rambert – having to work on the dance solo for the week leading up to the audition was really stressful. Going over it again and again and having to showcase all your abilities in just one minute. 

AH: We also had mock exams for the whole of the week we were both preparing for auditions! 

RS: Certainly sounds quite stressful! Ok – so what’s next? 

LN: I’ve been looking at accommodation and student finance – hopefully halls in the first year then a house with friends after that. 

AH: I’m still waiting for an offer from Bird, so I’m not quite in the position to be thinking about accommodation yet. It’s a bit harder at Performers because they don’t have halls, so I will definitely have to start doing some research soon. 

RS: And finally, what about the future beyond your A Levels and these brilliant courses – have you looked that far ahead? 

LN: I’ve definitely got the performing arts industry in mind, but I just want to see what happens in these three years. I’ll take opportunities as they arise and take it from there! 

AH: Similar to Lillyanna – take opportunities as they come up. Make connections and gain experience – on stage, cruise ships and maybe teaching, eventually! 

RS: There’ll always be a demand for good dance teachers! 

Thank you both for giving us an insight into the application and audition process. All the best for your upcoming exams and for your future in the performing arts.  

A little while later we caught up with Esmée.  

RS: Most Year 11 students are continuing their academic studies with A Levels at college next year, or going into an apprenticeship or employment, but you’re doing something slightly different. Talk us through your decision-making process. 

ECW: It’s always been obvious to me that dance is something I want to do for my whole life, so I looked at my options. Dance college with a 3 A Level equivalent qualification

Thank you to Mr Maddocks for the following report:  

“Richmond started off the first half as the better team. Lots of high pressing of the ball, great fluid football being played, and chances being created. Unfortunately, due to an uneven surface, Richmond conceded the first goal from a pass back to the goalkeeper gone awry. Admirably, goalie Charlie Davies was unphased by this error and went on to make numerous fantastic saves which kept us in the game.  

Midway through the first half, our powerful attacking play resulted in a number of corners, brilliantly delivered by Oscar Anderson. Jake Kirkbright managed to get on the end of one delivery and loop a header into the far top corner, an excellent goal to bring Richmond level. Towards the end of the first half, Archie Porter delivered a free kick into an extremely dangerous area. Our pressure on the goalkeeper caused him to spill the ball, with Kirkbright once again following up and firing it into the back of the net for his, and Richmond's second.   

In the second half, Richmond had to weather some pressure from Northallerton's tricky and pacey forwards. With Owen Mundell leading the back line, Richmond stood strong. Great attacking play led to Max Read picking up the ball on the edge of the Northallerton box and guiding it expertly in their bottom corner. 3-1 Richmond. We decided, with little time to go, to try and see out the rest of the game and switched to a more defensive formation. This seemed to work; however, a controversial decision from the referee meant Northallerton managed to claim a goal back. Thankfully, this was late in the game, and Richmond won the game 3-2. This was a brilliant effort from the whole team working together and working hard, never giving up until the final whistle. Well done lads, and onto the final!”

Callum was nominated by Miss Tucker who said: “Callum is always a very polite and hardworking student who strives to be the best he can be in everything he does. In Textiles this year, he has built up an impressive repertoire of practical skills, resulting in an excellently made cape inspired by his favourite character. For each technique required to make his cape, we provided a short demonstration, gave Callum a chance to practise, and then he completed the skill independently on his final piece. This included pattern cutting, hemming, machine‑sewing seams and buttonholes, and hand‑sewing buttons. 

The number of skills he executed to an excellent standard went above and beyond what many other students managed within the time. Callum demonstrated strong creativity in his design ideas and worked very independently throughout the project to bring his design to life.” 

We recently heard that Jack Ford, currently a Year 11 student at Richmond School, but also a part time apprentice at James Ford construction, has been making excellent progress in his training and qualifications with construction and farming machinery.  

The James Ford Construction Facebook page celebrated his recent achievements by saying: “Well Done, Jack! A huge congratulations to Jack, one of our apprentices, who has recently achieved some fantastic milestones in his training. 

Jack has successfully passed his 360 Excavator, Dumper, and Tractor tickets, and is continuing his progress by completing his Telehandler and Abrasive Wheels training as well. 

It’s great to see the hard work and commitment he’s putting into developing his skills, and we’re proud to support him as he continues to grow within the business. 

We look forward to sharing more of Jack’s successes in the future.” 

Jack also gave us a bit of background information to put these recent achievements in context: He’s grown up around farms, farming and construction work – it runs in the family. He’s been driving a tractor since he was 13! James Ford Construction is the family-run business, established in 2009. Jack is currently on a work placement at James Ford Construction and with a local farmer two days a week, as well as working effectively full-time around school. He gets up early to feed the cattle at 6:30am, then in the evening carries out general farm and grounds work. The cattle he helps look after are high quality Angus beef cattle – they raise them on the farm from four months to a year old, then supply the beef to Waitrose. His ambition is to join James Ford Construction as a full-time apprentice after his GCSEs. 

Well done to Jack for these recent achievements, and we wish him all the best for the future. 

Thanks to Mrs Southgate for this report about the recent ‘Girls Football Activators’ programme: 

“We’re incredibly proud of a group of our Year 9 girls who have planned and led football taster sessions at local primary schools as part of the Barclays Game On – Go Lead programme. 

After completing sports leadership training with a football focus and qualifying as Girls’ Football Activators, the girls chose to plan and deliver fun, inclusive football sessions for Richmond‑based primary schools. Along the way, they developed key skills in communication, organisation and teamwork, putting these into practice with some very enthusiastic Year 3 and Year 4 girls. 

It’s been wonderful to see their confidence grow week by week as they delivered the sessions. They used their creativity to adapt their sessions when they identified areas for improvement, demonstrating fantastic independence. Feedback from the schools has been overwhelmingly positive, with lots of pupils saying how much they enjoyed getting involved and having fun. 

A huge thank you to Trinity Academy Richmond and Richmond Methodist School for hosting our leaders, and to their fantastic Year 3 and 4 girls for getting stuck in and giving it a go!” 

Thanks to Emmy Raggett, Year 12 student at Richmond, as well as coach and manager of the U13 girls football team, for this report:  

“Last week, the U13 girls football team faced Easingwold in the final of the Area Plate.   

The girls started eagerly and played some brilliant football, displaying what they’ve learnt over the past season. Crucially, we gained a few early goals, scored by Charlee Stead who proceeded to secure herself five in total! 

The second half arrived, and the girls comfortably set themselves back up.  

An extremely quick Easingwold striker and some lovely link-up plays meant the opposition regained a few goals, putting pressure on Richmond. The girls remained calm, worked together and produced some great attacks which were finished with fantastic strikes from Kezia Rodway, Phoebe Percival, Phoebe Willis and a penalty from Orla Noone, meaning when the final whistle blew the game ended with a score of 9-4 to Richmond - Area Plate Winners! A brilliant end to a successful season for the U13s”  

Mrs Southgate, joint Lead Teacher of PE, added: “The girls and I would like to say a huge thank you to Emmy who has devoted so much time this season to planning and leading fantastic coaching sessions for the U13 girls and expertly managing and refereeing their fixtures. Her dedication to supporting each individual player's development has been amazing, and we are so grateful for her expertise and commitment. She is a fantastic role model for our younger students. Thank you, Emmy!”
