The Richmond upon Thames School (RTS), is a co-educational secondary academy, located in Twickenham in the London Borough of Richmond, south-west London. It was established under the Department for Education's Free School policy in September 2017, and is part of a Richmond Education and Enterprise Campus (REEC) being created at the site of Richmond upon Thames College (RUTC).[1]
RTS is governed by the Richmond upon Thames School Trust, a partnership between Achieving for Children, Harlequins Rugby Club, Haymarket Media Group, Richmond Council and Richmond upon Thames College.[2]
Although RTS is formally an 11-16 school, it offers 16+ qualifications in partnership with Richmond Upon Thames College, known as Sixth Form Plus, giving its teachers the opportunity to teach their subjects at A Level.[3][4]
Like all English schools, RTS' population and performance data are published in the Department for Education's national tables.[5]
