Beyond the curriculum, there is a rich offer of activities, helping students develop confidence, teamwork and commitment. There is something for everyone to get involved in; be that our inclusive multi-trophy winning school sports teams; our sell-out annual school productions; our student councils, music groups, lunchtime and after school clubs, our World Champion Greenpower racing team…the list goes on. Our school calendar abounds with curriculum themed days – World Book Day, Space Camp, leadership days, competitive and non-competitive opportunities, charity fundraising and school trips to Europe, Africa, and Asia… Wherever your interests lie, there will be something for you at Richard Lander School.
