Welcome to our school, where we are dedicated to providing an excellent education for every child in every classroom, everyday. We create an inspiring environment filled with opportunities to learn, grow and discover their potential.

Lift Richmond Park is a wonderful place to learn and teach and we celebrate our best ever GCSE outcomes as we begin the 2025/26 academic year. The school is traditional in our approach to discipline and uniform, yet forward-thinking and at the cutting edge of curriculum development.
It is important that the students at the school behave yet also feel safe to express themselves as individuals. The school aims to develop the whole child. We have a real focus on progress and attainment, yet ensure students develop their cultural awareness as part of our extensive personal development programme. We aim to offer even more trips this year as well as expand on our already extensive extra curricular offer.
School is about so much more than academic learning and we hope this message is evident as you explore our website. Teaching and learning is at the heart of our practice and our open door policy and offer to let parents observe a ‘real’ working day is a clear sign of the pride we have in our school.
We look forward to meeting you.
Mr J Whelan, Principal
