Our induction days will help students settle in and meet their fellow classmates. Our induction activities are designed to help students make new friends and integrate into their year group. After a couple of weeks, students become well-adjusted to the daily routines with their new classmates. We make careful decisions when creating the groups considering a fair spread of ability and gender and balancing any behavioural or special educational needs.

At RPHS we value student wellbeing and work hard to promote a positive learning environment to support mental health across our school. We have a vast pastoral and safeguarding team who are able to support you and your child.

The first point of contact is your child’s tutor. In addition to the tutor, your child will have a Pastoral Support Officer (PSO) and a Head Of Year (HoY). Students will also be supported by the Assistant Headteacher for Y7.

We have many trained first aid staff within school and a well-being Manager. If your child is ever worried or scared about anything they can tell any adult that they feel comfortable to talk to, their tutor would be the best place to start.

 Our dedicated pastoral team and are able to provide outstanding levels of pastoral care to fulfil our school values and support our students. We are able to offer a multitude of in-house support to our students to ensure their wellbeing needs are met and also work in partnership with a number of external agencies who offer specialist support.

You can find more information on how key members of staff will support your child here: /page/?title=Student+Welfare&pid=129

In many circumstance we are able to offer Financial Support to eligible families.

If you are already in receipt of Free School Meals or Pupil Premium and your child attends a Merton Primary school, you do not need to do anything.

If you are transitioning from a non-Merton primary feeder school and feel you may be eligible for Free School Meals, please ensure you apply directly to Merton.

Students are welcome to bring a pack lunch or purchase food from our Canteen. Our Canteen serves a range of meal options; there is always a halal and vegetarian option.

The school uses an outside caterer, Harrison. There is an emphasis on Healthy Eating and the menus reflect this. 

Payment in the canteen
Payment can only be made via Scopay (separate log-in information will be sent to parents and carers). If a student forgets to top up their lunch money they can speak to a teacher in the canteen; no child will go without lunch, but you must pay any money owed back the next day.
