It's Time to Fly - Class of 2025!
Today marks a significant milestone for our wonderful Year 13 students - not only the start of study leave, but the end of their journey at Radnor House Sevenoaks. This moment marks the transition from school life to a future filled with independence, opportunity, and excitement.
And what a future it is. From exceptional university and apprenticeship offers to adventurous gap year plans and exciting job opportunities, our students have so much to look forward to. But before they head off to seize what’s next, we’ve taken the time this week to celebrate everything they’ve achieved - and all that they’ve meant to our school community.
Leavers' activities began with the ever-popular Staff vs Sixth Form Rounders Match, a spirited game that blurred team lines but certainly didn’t dull the competitive fire, with some dramatic base dives on show! Students honoured a beloved Sixth Form tradition with a full-clothed jump into the school pool - leaving with a splash, quite literally. Laughter, cheering, and soaked smiles made it a moment to remember.
Friday brought a series of bittersweet celebrations. Tutor time kicked off with a special Sixth Form-themed quiz, where inside jokes and memorable moments had everyone laughing. At break, students and staff came together over celebration cake and shirt-signing, sharing messages of gratitude and affection for friendships made during their time at Radnor.
Later, the Leavers’ Assembly provided a heartfelt send-off. Students were treated to a touching video featuring messages from staff, and a nostalgic photo slideshow complete with snapshots from their early days in Year 7.
And the celebrations aren’t over yet. Tonight, our Year 13s will step out in black-tie elegance for their Leavers’ Dinner - an evening to remember. With a professional photographer, photo booth, three-course meal, heartfelt speeches, student awards, and musi to round off the night, this final gathering promises to be the perfect send-off.
To our Year 13s: thank you for the laughter, the leadership, and the legacy you leave behind. We are immensely proud of all you’ve achieved—and even more excited for all that lies ahead. Good luck, stay in touch, and never forget—you’ll always be part of the Radnor House Sevenoaks family.
“It has been an honour to be a Year 13 form tutor and have taught English to so many of you. I hope that all of you will continue to be keen readers as you move through the next stage of your lives. This chapter of your story is closing, but the next chapter is even more exciting, with plenty of new opportunities ahead! Best wishes.” - Mr Pidgeon, Form Tutor
"It’s hard to believe that your time at school - and in the Sixth Form - is coming to an end. What a truly wonderful year group you’ve been! You’ve thrown yourselves into every aspect of school life with energy and enthusiasm—whether in lessons, clubs, sports, volunteering, or House events. You’ve led, organised, and participated with real dedication. To my tutor group, the mighty 13G - thank you for starting my mornings with a smile and for all the lively debates we’ve shared. It’s certainly been entertaining! I wish every one of you in Year 13 the very best for your exams and whatever lies ahead. Be true to yourselves, forge your own path, and pour passion into everything you do. Stay in touch—and let us know about all the fantastic things you go on to achieve." - Mr Green, Form Tutor
“Year 13, whilst it is goodbye for now and good luck for your upcoming A Levels, you will always be a part of the Radnor Family, and I look forward to keeping in touch with you all and hearing about your very exciting, varied and successful futures. Remember, create memories not only dreams and stay true to your values and self. It’s been an absolute pleasure” - Mrs Owen, Head of Sixth Form
“As you graduate from Radnor House Sevenoaks, remember that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You have all shown incredible resilience, dedication, and growth during your time here. Carry these qualities with you and never stop striving for excellence. The future is yours to shape, and I have no doubt that each of you will achieve great things. Congratulations and best of luck on your next adventure.” - Mr Paton, Head
