Raising Aspirations

The school places a high emphasis on Future Aspirations. The St@r culture encourages pupils to think about and discuss their future aspirations and this is celebrated in merit every week.

The St Richard's Alumni give the children 'live models' of people who attended St Richard's as pupils and have gone on to have hugely successful futures across a wide range of careers, spanning sports stars and musicians, to foster carers and business people!

This year we are fortunate enough to participate in the incredible IntoUniversity project, which enables pupils from Year 4 upwards to take part in a series of interactive and immersive workshops that introduce pupils to careers and university.

In December, the Year 6 children completed a degree in Medicine in a week. Their graduation took place at York University with many proud parents in attendance to celebrate this positive experience. What an achievement!

Dress as your future self day!
