𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 – 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺!

Welcome back to all of our students as we kick off the new academic year - and a very special welcome to our brand new Year 7s, who joined us on Friday for the first time!

As all year groups return today, students may notice something a little different about some of our Year 11s - they'll be wearing distinctive blue jumpers, marking them out as part of 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺. For the first time in many years, RCC has a full student leadership team including a team of prefects, and we couldn't be happier to have such a brilliant team out and about around the school. Their blue jumpers make them easy to spot - so if any of our new Year 7s need a helping hand finding their way around their new school, they'll know exactly who to ask.

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱-𝟮𝟲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺

These students applied - demonstrating that school Ambition - for roles that reflect their passions and strengths, covering Charity, Eco & Sustainability, Diversity & Inclusion, Sport, Arts & Culture, Library & Reading, Digital & Media, Year 7 Buddy & Transition, Wellbeing & Anti-Bullying, and Community & Events. Every one of those areas reflects something we care deeply about as a school community.

They received their prefect badges at a presentation ceremony at the end of last term, and today - for the first time - they step out in those blue jumpers with every reason to wear them with Pride.

We are so proud of every single one of them, and we can't wait to see the difference they make this year.

We love nothing more than celebrating, as one of our core school values, the Ambition of our young people and, as members of our community, supporting them in their endeavours - so we're happy to share this story!

Kaydon, one of our enterprising students, launched his very own car cleaning business towards the end of last term - and he hasn't looked back since! As the summer rolled on, so did his hard work and determination.

When Mr Pratt, our Headteacher, heard about Kaydon's venture, he was impressed by the ambition. He invited Kaydon onto site during our recent INSET days to offer his services to staff right here in the school car park - and what a productive couple of days he's had!

This is what community looks like - recognising ambition, backing our young people, and giving them the space to grow. We couldn't be prouder of Kaydon and everything he's working towards.

Behind those results is a small rural school where every student is known, where our school values are more than words on a wall. We hold high standards while helping every student feel supported and ready to succeed.

Come and see that for yourself - meet our teachers, look around the school, talk to our students, learn what sets Robertsbridge apart, and understand how your child can achieve their own success story with us.

Our Headteacher has released his latest vlog, sharing positive updates for families and the wider Robertsbridge Community College community.

In this edition, Mr Pratt reflects on his guiding quote "Progress over perfection", looking back on the many improvements that have been made across the school throughout this academic year - his first as Headteacher. It is a chance to celebrate how far the RCC community has come together.

Throughout the series, each vlog has taken a moment to focus on one of our three core values - Ambition, Pride and Respect. This edition turns the spotlight on Ambition, with Mr Pratt sharing his ambitions for the school moving forward, building on the positive progress made this year and our continued efforts to strengthen the school’s reputation and links with the wider community.

On a scorching afternoon, our teacher team — playing together for the very first time — showed real respect, pride and ambition in a brilliantly competitive fixture against the Darvell community.

The first half was evenly matched, ending 0–0 thanks to several outstanding saves from Mr Prestney‑Vaughan, who kept the team level with sharp reactions and fearless commitment. Half‑time arrived as a much‑needed breather for both sides under the relentless heat.

The second half kicked off with the same intensity. A rapid strike from Mr Adams looked to have given the teachers the lead — but in true spirit of honesty (and with no VAR to save us!) it was ruled offside. Darvell responded instantly, scoring a well‑worked goal before adding a second as the teachers briefly dropped their heads.

Determined to finish with pride, the staff dug deep. A fingertip save from Mr Prestney‑Vaughan and a heroic goal‑line clearance from Mr Sowa ensured the match ended in a respectable 2–0 defeat — a scoreline that reflects the team’s ambition, resilience and respect for the game.

A brilliant afternoon of community spirit, effort and togetherness. Roll on the rematch.

Last week, RCC came alive with competition as Sports Day – well, FOUR days to be precise – took place! It was also one of the first major outings for our new Houses, with our various element-themed teams all displaying their very best characteristics throughout: 🔥 Pyro bringing determination, 💧 Hydro showing teamwork, ⚡ Electro demonstrating their drive, 🌍 Geo proving strength, and 🌿 Xylo with growth.

Years 9 and 10 got things underway on Monday and Tuesday, before Years 7 and 8 stepped up for their turn on Thursday and Friday.

Students competed across a full range of events - long jump, triple jump, high jump, discus, javelin, shot put, and a host of track events including team relays - with a number of records broken along the way! All students had the chance to take part in the field events, while track places were earned through selection.

It was a fantastic few days - a great atmosphere and wonderful weather: lots of sunshine, face paint and hearty vocal encouragement!

A huge well done to every student who competed, and a thank you to all the staff who helped make it happen - plus a special mention for our RCC Sports Leaders, who showed fantastic maturity and were brilliant role models throughout, and whose support across both field and track events was invaluable.

Yesterday our Year 10 Sports Leaders helped to run Northiam School's Sports Day.

They did a fantastic job organising and supporting a wide range of events, including sprints, egg and spoon races, hurdles, sack races, foam javelin and tyre pulls.

The students showed ambition by confidently taking responsibility for the events, respect by encouraging and supporting the younger pupils, and pride through the positive way they represented our school.

Here are some of our boys taking part in the inflatable race!

𝗔 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲'𝘀 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘀𝗼𝗻.

Many of you will remember Ms Louise Thompson – Subject Leader/Teacher of History and Head of KS3 during her 27 extraordinary years here at RCC. From battlefield visits to Ypres, to trips to the Tower of London, and her wonderful annual history celebrations - she inspired learning in so many memorable and creative ways.

We were deeply saddened to hear of her recent passing, aged just 59. We estimate she touched the lives of at least 3,500 students over her career - through her passion for her subject, her genuine care for young people, and her legendary sense of humour!

We want to honour her memory with something lasting - a permanent memorial within the school grounds that will stand as an enduring reminder of her dedication to this school and its students - and a real demonstration of the respect that we hold as one of our school values.

If Ms Thompson's teaching, warmth, or humour ever touched your life, we'd very much appreciate your support in helping to make this happen.
