The girls represented Richmond as Borough Champions at the London Youth Games held at  Crystal Palace. The football event took place in the Redbridge Sports Centre. The team won the gold medal and were crowned London Champions after competing against the other London Borough Champion teams.  This is a fantastic achievement-all the more impressive for the clean sheet they kept-not conceding a single goal!

Zac Goldsmith opened our new building and our centenary mosaic at a celebration full of poetry and song. We are delighted with our new classrooms and spectacular hall.
