We are proud of our school and all the people in it. Our aim is to help our children to be the best that they can be, in all that they do. We want them to have respect for themselves, each other and the world around them. We also want them to be independent learners in order to prepare them for their next schools and the world of work beyond.

Richard Hill School was founded in 1715 by the then Rector of Thurcaston, Rev. Richard Hill. Our Founder desired that his school should prepare its scholars for life’s opportunities and challenges. Richard Hill saw education as a balance between social, academic and religious learning. We still adhere to his guiding principles – they have served us well for nearly 300 years. 

We pride ourselves on our high standards of teaching ensuring our children receive the best possible education as well as having an enjoyable school experience. Our foundation is our Christian faith, and its teachings pervade all that we do. We believe our children have the right to the very best education we can provide – an education that not only strives for academic excellence but one that nurtures in our children the desire to lead their lives as principled human beings who possess an ever growing sense of their own spirituality. The vision for our school is ‘To ensure that all pupils thrive educationally, emotionally, spiritually and physically, achieving the highest possible standards within an exciting and challenging curriculum’.
