Our students have celebrated another year of success as we recognise and celebrate their efforts and achievements Students and their parents were invited to an awards ceremony as a host of accolades were presented for academic, sporting and community endeavours. Sophie Blenkiron won high praise and the Governors Cup for inspiring her fellow students and raising thousands of pounds for charities along the way.   Design flair shown by Emily Travanyar has prompted British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph to take a close look at her design for a panier system, her work winning her the Technology Cup.   Katie Kitching took the BTEC Sports Cup for combining her studies with securing a place in the squad of Manchester City Ladies Football Club. Sophie Spink was awarded the Headteacher’s Cup for her fundraising efforts for an orphanage in India, while the accolade was shared with Ben Walker, an outstanding student who has secured a prestigious place at veterinary school after he spends a year on a cattle and sheep farm in the Australian Outback.   Ian Robertson said: “It is an absolute privilege for me to rub shoulders on a daily basis with such incredible young people.” Hosted by Head Boy Benjamin Fisher and Head Girl Erica Baldry, the guest of honour was the Mayor of Richmond, Councillor Russell Lord, a member of the Richmond School Trust, who presented many of the awards.   He said: “I really enjoy such awards ceremonies which acknowledge the hard work students put in at school. They are a credit to themselves, their parents, their school, and great role models to other young people, who can see what can be achieved through hard work.” Entertainment was provided by soloist Evie Wright and the Richmond School Singers.       AWARDS: ICT Cup Tom Sothcott.
