What's Going On: Year 11 Ball Day

The last day at Richard Lander School is always an occasion to remember for Year 11 students. They arrive at school, in fancy dress, to say goodbye to the staff, other students and to attend a Leaver's Assembly. The effort students have gone to in past years has been nothing short of remarkable, with snails on skateboards, congregations of nuns, Telly Tubbies, superheroes and pirates walking the school corridors. The buses arrive just before lunchtime to collect Year 11 for the last time and, in the early evening, they arrive at the Penventon Hotel for their Leaver’s Ball, transformed into young adults, dressed in all their finery.
