Looking forward to the inspiring guest speaker at December’s Aiming High Assembly

We are looking forward to welcoming back Catherine Parums née Jack to school as the guest speaker at the Aiming High assemblies.  Catherine studied at Richmond School from 1998-2005.  She enjoyed taking part in both sporting and musical extra-curricular activities, but it was music that she chose to go on and study at the University of York.
