Louise Thompson Tribute

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.
