Students who have applied to RH6 and all our current Year 11s have been invited to come to our RH6 Orientation Day on Tuesday 7th July 2026. We will be sharing more of what RH6 life is like.

Please arrive from 8.40am for a 9.00am start. Please come to reception where you will be welcomed by our Prefects and staff. Our Orientation Day runs until 2.45pm.

The day enables students to enjoy some A Level taster lessons, meet some of their teachers and gain insight into Sixth Form life. Our Orientation Day will give you the opportunity to meet other students, and find out some more about what to expect when you join our Sixth Form for your A Level journey.
