If you are hoping to make a placing request for your child to attend a school other than your local authority or catchment school, you might find this pre-recorded Q&A useful.

In it, some of the Enquire team talk through how school placement works and how to make a school placement request. They also answer questions around some specifics circumstances, offering tailored advice to real-life situations.

Richmond: RAF Cadets 240 (Richmond) Squadron needs Adult Volunteers


RAF Cadets: 2040 (Richmond) Squadron need adult volunteers.

An RAF Cadet Squadron based at Richmond School, urgently need adult volunteers.
The group has become increasingly popular since Flying Officer Keith Hildred, took the reins last year. There are now 50 young people on the books, with enquiries for new starters filling his inbox on a weekly basis.

However, the squadron needs more adults, including parents and carers, to come forward and volunteer to help keep parade nights running smoothly.
There are several positions up for grabs, such as Cadet Instructor, and Civilian Committee Member. Full training is given, and a DBS check is paid for.

The benefits of volunteering are immeasurable for the cadets and the adults. Supporting our young people to get involved in the activities is incredibly rewarding. Watching the children develop their skills, gain confidence and make new friends is very uplifting.
