The Richmond West Schools Trust
RWST is a two school trust, Hampton High and Twickenham School, led by Philippa Nunn (previously headteacher of Waldegrave School). RWST was formed by local governors and experts with the aim of ensuring that Hampton High and Twickenham School would be judged as good by Ofsted by 2021. RWST is committed to the long term future of the schools in our Trust and can demonstrate that progress towards the aim is extremely strong. We are pleased with the commitment that we have from our staff, students , parents, our local communities and the local authority.
Since both schools moved to RWST there has been a focus on Teaching and Learning, behaviour and school standards. Leaders, staff and students have been working together with Governors and Trustees to develop great systems in both schools which enable students to achieve their full potential.
Hampton High has recently been inspected and been awarded a Good judgement for all four Ofsted categories, this is a very significant step for the school which has not previously reached this standard. Twickenham School, has shown huge improvement and was moved out of Ofsted special measures and given a good judgement for leadership and behaviour after just over one year, this is an extremely impressive achievement.
Trustees and Governors bring a wealth of experience to the Trust and this is there to support the growth and development of both schools. Trustees come from a variety of backgrounds and include representative from the Local authority, ex headteacher, trustees with experience of finance, business and education.
The RWST vision is to inspire everyone to achieve, enjoy and flourish beyond their own expectations. Each school has their own identity and what unites us is a commitment to make a difference by sharing and delivering excellence locally.
‘Aspire together, learn together, achieve together.’
Philippa Nunn (CEO) left Waldegrave School to work solely for RWST, this reflects her passion to improve schools so that learners across Richmond have access to great schools. This decision was an easy one as she could see the great progress being made and wanted to be part of supporting the long term future of both schools and their place in the local community.
