A special shoutout to our wonderful ex-students who joined us this year — it was so lovely to have you back! Together, we celebrated in true colour style, throwing paint, sharing laughs, and honouring the memory of a member of our school community. What an incredible show of unity, spirit, and heart. 💖 Thank you all for making it unforgettable! And it’s not too late to donate! If you'd still like to support the cause, every contribution makes a difference. 🙌 https://www.justgiving.com/page/rsgcolourrun2025?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL&utm_campaign=018 #ColourRun2025 #SchoolSpirit #CommunityStrong #InMemory #TogetherInColour

📣 Our A-level Law students had an incredible opportunity this week! They spent the day at court, observing real cases in action and gaining valuable insights into the legal process. The highlight of the visit was a special Q&A session with a judge, where students asked thoughtful and challenging questions. It was an inspiring experience that gave them a real taste of what a career in law could look like 👩⚖️⚖️👨⚖️ #FutureLawyers #ALevelLaw #InspiringCareers #CourtVisit

🌍 Busy Term for Geography Fieldwork! 🌊🚶♂️ This term, our Year 11 Geographers have been out and about collecting valuable data for their investigations. 📍 Herne Bay Coastal Study: Students explored the coastline to gather data on beach gradient, pebble size & shape, and coastal management. Working in small groups, they investigated how physical processes impact human activity. Back in class, they’re transforming this data into graphs to test their hypotheses. 📍 Rainham Precinct Urban Study: On another exciting trip, pupils measured environmental quality, land-use, and traffic/pedestrian counts. Their goal? To determine how environmental quality changes from the city centre to the suburbs. Well done to all for your enthusiasm and teamwork! Stay tuned for their findings! #GeographyFieldwork #CoastalInvestigation #UrbanStudy #Year11Geography #LearningOutsideTheClassroom
