I am very proud of this year’s cohort. Not only have they have worked extremely hard in their subjects, they have also added so much value to the school in the areas of Sport, mentoring of Year 7 and Year 8’s, running co-curricular clubs, working as mental health first aiders, achieving Gold, Silver and Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Awards and fully participating in our Sixth Form enrichment activities ensuring that they are more than prepared for life after school.
Rob continues:
Rendcomb College is truly showing itself as a standout choice for families, getting the perfect blend of achieving strong exam results whilst ensuring that pupil development and pastoral needs are at the centre of everything we do. As I have said many times before, and will continue to say, children that are happy will thrive. I think this year’s results make that abundantly clear!”
