Message from our Principal Welcome to Richmond upon Thames College

Richmond upon Thames College is a vibrant, diverse and friendly community with outstanding students and staff. We have a wide range of subjects and courses at different levels, a strong support team plus a range of facilities and enrichment activities that allow our students to fulfill their potential and achieve their ambitions.

I am incredibly proud of the successes and achievements of our students and in the latest edition of Celebrate magazine, you can read about the wonderful and inspiring stories from the past few months and also hear from former students of the college who have gone on to achieve great success in their careers.

I hope you enjoy this publication.

Robin Ghurbhurun

Chief Executive and Principal

In January 2016 the Department for Education released the school and college performance tables, detailing the achievements of colleges across England and the progress of students aged 16 - 18 in 2014/15.

RuTC were proud to be listed as the highest ranked Further Education college in London based on academic results and within the top three FE college in London based on vocational results.* The tables follow RuTC’s rating as ‘good’ by Ofsted in January 2016 for apprenticeships and adult courses.

Robin Ghurbhurun, CEO and Principal, commented: “Recognition for our strengths and achievements over the past year is evidence that we are fulfilling our mission to do nothing less than ensure students reach their full potential and are more than equipped for life after college.”

* Based on average point score per student in the Department for Education school and college performance tables, January 2016

Making Way for the new Enterprise and Education CampusOver the last 18 months, RuTC has been working with Clarendon School, Haymarket Media Group, Harlequins, Waldegrave School, Richmond Council and Achieving for Children to create an innovative education and enterprise campus. RuTC recently received the great news that permission to start the demolition work has been granted and builders have now gone on site to commence the first stage.

Robin Ghurbhurun, CEO and Principal, said: “I am delighted that we finally have put a ‘spade’ in the ground on this innovative and exciting project. This is the first phase of our development and I am sure that over the next few years students, employers and the local community will be impressed by the fantastic new facilities.”

Subject to further planning permission the new school, Richmond upon Thames School (RTS), will be completed by September 2017 and the college building in Summer 2018. Students at RuTC were recently given the challenge of designing

the new logo for RTS. The brief stated the logo must represent RuTC’s aspirational approach to education, the innovative and high end identity of the free school and the locality of the borough.

The panel of judges including Haymarket Media Group and Richmond Council examined designs presented by six students and in the end chose the logo designed by winners Dominic Grainger, studying HNC Graphic Design, and Aminul Miah, studying HND Graphic Design.

Their innovative design features a rounded RuTC diamond, divided by the Surrey Middlesex Thames boundary, with branches of growth ascending from it . The colour green is associated with nature, health and tranquility. It was chosen on the premise that it represents and unifies the brands of all RuTS stakeholders.

Pitching to the Design Museum “the next generation of

design talent.”

Highly Commended at the House of CommonsOn Monday 1st February 2016 the Association of Colleges (AoC) presented RuTC student, Ben Parsons, with a Highly Commended ‘Student of the Year’ award. Ben, who is studying Level 2 BTEC Creative Media, received the award at the Student Success Reception, an invitation only event hosted by AoC in the House of Commons presented by Peter Kyle, MP.

Ben was recognised for his outstanding student achievement after being nominated for the award in September 2015. The AoC emphasised Ben’s key role in ensuring RuTC’s wheelchair basketball club became a permanent fixture by encouraging staff support, liaising with the Wheelchair Basketball Association and contributing to successful funding bids. The AoC further highlighted Ben’s success in securing funding for his own coach training in addition to voluntarily raising funds for two students to train alongside him.

Robin Ghurbhurun, CEO and Principal at RuTC, accompanied Ben at the event along with Dr Tania Mathias, MP for Twickenham. Robin commented “Ben is an incredibly pro-active and tenacious individual with a fearless attitude when it comes to pursuing sports enterprise for the benefit of fellow students. RuTC has encouraged Ben’s ambitious approach and students have been inspired to similarly strive and achieve their goals with our support.”

Forty A Level Graphic Communications students recently created and presented tailor made gifts to be sold by The Design Museum. Students presented potential items for the gift shop which will be featured in the Museum’s new location on Kensington High Street, which is set to be the world’s leading museum of contemporary design and architecture.

True to the collaborative and enterprising nature of the Design Museum, students undertook an idea workshop for gift design, focusing on creative and problem solving skills. After pitching their products in a ‘Dragons Den’ style presentation, products were individually critiqued and students received professional feedback on their work. Students were also able to integrate their gift proposal as part of their A2 Graphic Communications coursework.

Timothy Pond, graphics teacher at RuTC, commented: “it is a delight for RuTC to be involved to such a great extent with the expansion of the Design Museum in 2016. Our students have had an opportunity to showcase their products in an environment which not only feeds innovation but also nurtures the next generation of design talent”.

Apprentices

During January 2016, over 20 RuTC BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Dance students embarked on a week-long trip to New York. The trip is traditionally organised by RuTC’s dance department every other year, allowing students to experience and be inspired by different dance schools across New York city.

Hannah Fryer, Dance teacher at RuTC stated “the trip allowed students to explore their options in terms of pursuing a dance career. Many of those who went on the trip are considering training in New York as a result of their participation. The next step is for students to apply to programmes offered by the dance institutions we now have strong connections with”.

Soon after in February, over 30 A Level US History, Global Politics and World Development students also flew to New York for four days where they uncovered the city’s most historical landmarks.

Auszamen Searles, studying BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production at RuTC has won a national design competition titled ‘Reinvent the Face of Framestore’. The competition was run jointly by Creative Skillset, a government funded organisation empowering young people in the creative industry, and Framestore, one of the UK’s largest Bafta and Oscar winning creative studios responsible for visual effects on films including Gravity and Avatar.

The competition formed part of Framestore’s mission to recruit new talent. Entrants were required to design an engaging advertisement aiming to reinforce visual effects as an exciting career choice among 18 – 25 year olds. As a result of winning the competition, Auszamen enjoyed a fortnight of work experience with Framestore in February.

Auszamen is hoping to pursue a career in 3D animation. His teacher, David Radcliffe, commented: “Auszamen has

The opportunity was presented by RuTC’s Humanities department for the first time ever. Students including Molly Keir, Curtis Hurd-McFarlane, Ibrar Rafique and Alessandra Whelan Merediz were amongst students in their second year who embraced the opportunity to go on the trip.

The trip included visits to Ellis Island, United Nations, the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Students stayed in the YMCA near Times Square, a perfect location for sightseeing.

Stephanie Dale, studying US History and Global Politics, commented “New York is the city that never sleeps; it is beautiful, bold and breathtaking. To have visited New York, for many of us, was a once in a lifetime opportunity we grasped with both hands. Being immersed in the political work of the USA was an incredible experience.”

“I have enjoyed learning how to work with the software systems at NPL and how to communicate effectively with other employees. By doing an apprenticeship, I’m being paid to work and learn new skills whilst also gaining a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business and Administration. I’m working in a completely new environment and find it really interesting and RuTC have been very supportive.”

Between 14 - 18 March we celebrated National Apprenticeship Week. We’ve captured some of our

apprentice’s best moments, the reasons why they chose an apprenticeship, what they’ve enjoyed and

what they’re gaining from being an apprentice…

“Gaining hands-on experience with DWG Brickwork has been incredibly valuable. There are so many skills you can develop when completing an apprenticeship which you wouldn’t necessarily learn from

studying alone and this is something the industry recognises. An apprenticeship is a great opportunity to progress within the industry and RuTC has helped me organise my studies alongside the practical

work on site.”

Hands-on Experience Reece, Brickwork Apprentice, DWG Brickwork

“I most enjoy working with a wide variety of children as there is a large diversity between them, whether it’s their age, ability or development level. In gymnastics, rugby and lacrosse I have the opportunity to support different lessons with varied age groups. Alongside PE lessons I also coach my own rugby, football and cricket teams throughout the three seasons. This means working with different ability teams from top to bottom teams.”

Gymnastics to Lacrosse Jade, Sports Activity Apprentice, Colet Court School

“The whole experience to date has been an absolute joy. Every day I learn something new. I’m in a fortunate position that my team is extremely experienced. If I ever need help I can access a wealth of knowledge, so being part of a great team is probably what I’ve enjoyed the most. My teacher at RuTC

is also incredibly supportive of me and wants to see me do well. She’s always at the end of an email if I need any support or help.”

Learning Every Day Charlie, Business Administration Apprentice, Haymarket

“I chose an apprenticeship because I wanted to be in a working environment whilst learning. The apprenticeship I’m doing is a fantastic way to learn new skills and methods for completing work. I enjoy learning new things and putting them into practice independently. The carpentry teachers at RuTC have a lot of time for me and I feel they want to teach me to become the best carpenter I can be.”

Meet James Pratt, producer of television sports news with over 15 years’ award-winning national and international broadcasting experience, including Sky News. James left RuTC in 1998 after studying A Level Communications, Geography, PE and Photography. He then completed a degree in Sport Science and Media Arts at St Mary’s University, followed by a Master’s degree in Sport Science at Brunel University.

How did attending college help you get to university?

RuTC was extremely supportive when it came to encouraging me to do work experience. The range of subjects offered by RuTC also increased my chances of securing work experience as photography was a very practical subject.

How did you first get a foot in the door at Sky News?

I worked as a freelancer at a company called ITN for a few years. Whilst I was there I also completed a few freelancing projects in the sports department at Sky News, which was local to where I lived. A position soon came up and since I’d worked with them previously my workload with them increased until I found myself in the position of Sport Producer and Editor.

Notably it wasn’t a formal interview process; it was the result of my work experience. Companies put a lot of emphasis on the value of work experience when considering candidates and often suggest you do a shift for them to assess how well you perform under pressure.

Living the Sports TV DreamWhat was it like working in Qatar, Doha for 7 years?

Amazing. I started as a Programme Editor and went on to be a Sports Editor and Executive Producer for the international news channel Al Jazeera English. I wanted to travel to experience a new culture and learn new things, both of which I managed to do whilst being paid to fly around the world and film the biggest sports events on the planet. It had been my ambition since the age of 11 so it was a dream come true!

What skills do you need to become a TV producer?

You must be able to react well to different situations. Planning is important but if you want to be a good producer you have to learn how to deal with last minute changes on the day. I’ve been on sets that have been planned meticulously but things have gone wrong and we’ve had to produce from scratch on the spot with a whole new plan.

What advice would you give students wanting to go into television?

The key thing is getting experience with a TV or production company to witness how they work from the inside, understand which parts you enjoy and make yourself available to do whatever people need you to do. Some things you will fail at, some things you will be excellent at, but you must remember the embarrassing moments are insignificant and the good times take over. Don’t be afraid to fail or make mistakes.

On Friday 12th February RuTC celebrated the life and work of the late Desmond Jones, a local artist and former student of the college. The event was hosted by Merits, RuTC’s training restaurant and was attended by the Mayor of Richmond in addition to Desmond’s friends and family. A selected piece of Desmond’s artwork and accompanying plaque was presented to Robin Ghurbhurun, Principal and CEO, to mark the college’s successful heritage and exciting future. Robin commented: “It is an absolute pleasure to receive artwork which not only highlights our Alumni’s strength of connection to the college, but also marks the start of the college’s new development.”

Desmond enrolled as a student 73 years ago, at which point the college was a combined art school and technical college. His family recently uncovered his hidden pieces of art work, one of which was generously donated to the college. Desmond won an art scholarship to the college during World War II and went on to spend a lifetime as a professional artist. He concentrated on graphic art before pursuing a career in photography and eventually his

David was the main reason I was able to progress after I left RuTC.

What’s the most exciting project you’ve worked on?

The Legend of Tarzan, a film by Warner Brothers. My role was to separate certain objects in a shot, including plants and the characters’ hair and body.

What do you enjoy most in your career?

Seeing everything come together. It’s incredible to see your work on the big screen and to tell your friends you did the visual effects for that movie!

What advice would you give to students pursuing a career in graphics?

Do as much training as you can and build a good show reel. Make sure you create time to get work experience and grow your contact base within the industry.

Meet Zaid Petros, he is a Paint and Roto Artist which involves working on computer graphics for films at Framestore, one of the UK’s largest Bafta and Oscar winning creative studios. He left RuTC in 2009 after completing a BTEC Level 3 in Interactive Media and went on to graduate from Arts University Bournemouth with a degree in Digital Media Production.

How did you first get your foot in the door in the film industry?

Whilst studying I did lots of work experience with a local production company. I also did TV placements and applied to be a Runner, an entry level position in the production department, with larger companies until Framestore offered me the job! I was a Runner for 10 months before I progressed into the Paint and Roto department.

How did going to college help you get to where you are today?

RuTC helped me develop my portfolio for university which is crucial for your application. My Media teacher, David Radcliffe, had great industry experience so his help and advice was invaluable when it came to shaping my portfolio and deciding which direction I should take; having a teacher like

27 AS Level Graphic Communication students ventured to Warner Brothers film studio in January with the RuTC graphics department. The trip involved drawing the Harry Potter studios set design and being introduced to a dazzling array of creative careers in the film Industry including animators, concept artists, set designers, make-up artists, scene painters, graphics designers and illustrators.

The trip formed part of the students’ ‘Twisted Tales’ unit, an introductory skills building programme based around a fairy tale theme. The purpose of the trip was to practise freehand architectural sketching from direct observation and sketch characters from observation. One student in particular, Ella Clapham from Twickenham, was fascinated by the character creation aspect of the trip and is hoping to gain work experience in this area.

Leading the Way in ConstructionOn 4th February second year students studying BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Construction and the Built Environment received a visit from Made in Richmond alumni member, Oliver Bassett, and his manager, Nick Faith from Overbury and Morgan Lovell, who presented to the group. Overbury and Morgan Lovell are the fit out companies of the Morgan Sindall Group plc, a leading UK construction and regeneration group.

Oliver drew upon his involvement with refurbishing large scale commercial buildings whilst Nick provided an insight into how Overbury and Morgan Lovell ensure the success of projects, the types of skills they look for when recruiting and the potential for progression within the company.

Oliver left RuTC in 2013 with a merit in the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Construction and the Built Environment. He is described by his tutor, Kuldip Rayat-Jones, as a ‘focused and determined’ individual. Oliver is now in his third year at Kingston University whilst simultaneously undertaking a placement with Overbury.

He is considering studying a Master’s degree in Construction and commented, “I’m extremely grateful for the support and encouragement given by the staff at RuTC and hope to inspire current students to progress within the industry”. Overbury and Morgan Lovell now offer apprenticeships and work experience for RuTC students.

A total of 23 BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Construction and the Built Environment students also recently visited the new Berkeley Homes development, opposite Twickenham station. They gained first-hand experience of the work that is undertaken and an awareness of surveying, construction management and design.

Students were able to embed their classroom learning with the real world of construction. Further partnership has been strengthened as Berkeley Homes are now delivering employability workshops as well as offering mock interviews to both first year and second years students looking to go on to higher education in the construction industry.

For the first time ever, RuTC’s English department is now offering a Creative Writing A Level as well as a new Creative Writing enrichment club for students to attend alongside their studies. Excitement brewed amongst students in March as they enjoyed a workshop run by Dr Maria Mellins, Author of Vampire Culture (published by Bloomsbury) and Senior Lecturer at St Mary’s University in Twickenham.

Welcome to the World of BusinessThis term BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business students were visited by the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) to receive tips and advice on training routes within the company. Around 40 eager students attended and look forward to the next steps as two students from last year’s talk secured work experience with RBS and one was even offered an apprenticeship.

BTEC Level 3 Law students have been equally as active as they visited the Crown Court in central London during January and in March received careers advice from Tuckers Solicitors, one of the UK’s leading law firm specialising in criminal law, civil liberties and regulatory proceedings.

From College to MidwiferyRuTC students interested in pursuing a career in midwifery recently visited the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists in Regent’s Park for the Annual Lecture for Young People. Those who attended are currently studying the Access to the HE Diploma in Health and Human Sciences at RuTC. The lecture was an interactive session followed by a presentation and networking. Students reported the lecture as being ‘very useful’ for their UCAS applications and interviews. We wish them all the best with their applications!

It’s all About the StudentsRuTC invited parents and senior staff members to enjoy a creative arts performance celebrating the end of winter term. The show, titled ‘All about Me’, comprised of 16 students from the Supported Learning department who came together to reveal their singing, acting and dancing talents.

A few of the performances drew upon work completed throughout the term in association with external partners including a dance routine with Step into Dance (an all-inclusive dance organisation), awards from the Jack Petchey Foundation (a charity for young people) and TV clips of the students reporting from the Sky News studio in Greenwich. Parents and staff were allocated seats at round tables with an array of food and wine to enjoy throughout the show.

Those making exceptional progress as learners were also recognised by receiving an award.

The next round of awards for the computing, IT and maths department will focus on recognition for maintainers and improvers in order to encourage students to keep up the good work. Judy May, IT and Computing teacher at RuTC commented: “it’s really important that our students feel valued for their work which is why we encourage them through awards such as this to continuously improve and consistently contribute their good efforts in class.”

All students and former students were delighted with their triumph over West Thames College. Pete Williams, Supported Learning teacher at RuTC commented, “this was a fantastic achievement for the team who worked hard in training and played brilliantly on the day to win the New Year’s Cup for the first time!”

The Voice Star visits RuTC Harry Fisher, contestant on BBC’s talent competition ‘The Voice’, showcased a private performance for RuTC students during the first week of February. Harry, who is in his first year studying Drama and Applied Theatre at St Mary’s University in Twickenham, is a rising star. He auditioned on The Voice in January, was successfully chosen by Boy George for mentorship and most recently got through the first live ‘battle’ stage of the show.

Harry performed three songs at RuTC including his first audition piece, ‘Let It Go’ by James Bay, and was interviewed in front of the student audience by Temi Oyekan, Equality and Diversity officer for the college’s Students Union who is studying A Levels in English, History and Drama and Theatre.

RuTC fans queued outside the college’s Edmund Kean Theatre in anticipation of Harry’s arrival and were delighted to have their photo taken with him shortly after the performance. Harry advised RuTC students hoping to progress within the music or media industry to “take every opportunity that comes along”.
