For Rendcomb College families

We are very saddened to hear the news that Rendcomb College will close at the end of this academic year. We understand that this is an extremely unsettling and stressful time for the pupils, families and staff affected and we are here to offer our support.

If you would like to arrange a meeting with our Headteacher, Mr Morgan, and have a tour of the school, please call 01242 522086 or email admissions@richardpate.co.uk
