Seamless Transition
Transitioning from secondary school to post-16 education can be a daunting experience. At RTS Sixth Form Plus we eliminate this stress by providing a seamless educational pathway.
RTS students can continue their educational journey without the hassle of switching institutions, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity in their learning environment.
The physical campus, comprising RTS, RuTC, Clarendon School, Capella House; and close by Harlequins FC, make up the Richmond Education Enterprise Campus Hub. This space offers a combination of authentic synchronicity between education and business/industry in an aspirational, inclusive and diverse setting.
Bespoke Pastoral Care
We understand the importance of pastoral care in a student's life. Each student is assigned an academic tutor who provides personalised academic guidance, helping students make informed decisions about their education and future career paths.
Beyond academics, we offer a range of enrichment programmes. These provide students with opportunities for leadership, mentoring and personal development - all within the RTS community.
Academic Excellence
Our courses are taught by experienced college teachers and are further supported by RTS staff. This collaborative approach ensures that students receive a well-rounded education, equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need for future success.
