On Sunday, 20th September, the gates of our 300-acre parkland school opened to welcome over 700 prospective pupils, parents, and family members for the RMS for Girls Whole School Open Day.
From the joyful discovery of Ruspini House Nursery to the dynamic energy of our Sixth Form, the entire school grounds were buzzing with curiosity, discovery, and community spirit.
Inspiration in the Great Hall
One of the defining highlights of the day was the series of addresses held in a bustling Great Hall, where families gathered to hear more about the RMS journey.
Attendees heard inspiring speeches from:
Mr. Carson, Headteacher, sharing the vision and ethos that underpin an RMS education.
Ms. Hardy, Deputy Head – Academic, offering invaluable insights into the supportive academic environment.
Eileen (Year 8), who captivated the audience with a candid, vibrant perspective on life in the Senior School.
Alessia (Year 13), who spoke eloquently about her leadership journey and the endless opportunities available in the Sixth Form.
Feedback from families following the addresses was overwhelmingly positive, with many citing the authentic, confident voices of our pupils as the standout element of their visit.
Hands-On Learning Across 300 Acres
Throughout the morning and afternoon, visitors toured our extensive facilities across Ruspini House, Cadogan House Prep School, the Senior School, and the Sixth Form.
