Orientation Day
Students who have applied to RH6 and all our current Year 11s will be invited to come to our RH6 Orientation Day in July 2026. We will be sharing more of what RH6 life is like.
The day enables students to enjoy some A Level taster lessons, meet some of their teachers and gain insight into Sixth Form life.
