About Richmond School
Richmond School is situated on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, based in the market town of Richmond. In December 2017 we converted to academy status and were delighted to join the Arete Learning Trust.
This is certainly an exciting time in the history of Richmond School; a history that goes back nearly 700 years. With the recent refurbishment and new building, teachers and students now have facilities that rank as some of the best in the country, including subject classrooms and bases that are in close proximity to each other.
There are approximately 1325 students on roll with 238 in the Sixth Form.
Following an Ofsted visit (January 2017) it was confirmed that we continue to be a good school, with leadership and management, and behaviour and safety, all deemed as ‘Good’. Our goal now is to push on towards becoming a truly outstanding school.
The Wider School Community
Richmond School is situated approximately four miles from the A1(M) at the northern end of the extensive county of North Yorkshire. It is an extremely attractive market town in part of what has become known as ‘Herriot Country’. Richmond itself has all the services of a market town and is within easy reach of Darlington and Teesside, with Newcastle and Leeds each less than an hour’s drive away. The nearby railway town of Darlington is on the main East Coast line between Edinburgh and London, whilst the Dales area itself has a rich rural and industrial heritage. Musicians, thespians, walkers, potholers, campers, historians and many other interest groups find Richmond to be an ideal base.
Over thirty-five primary schools contribute to the School’s Year 7 intake.
