Year 7 brought poetry to life in Rome, visiting the Keats and Shelley House, then walking the Spanish Steps to Villa Borghese for a picnic, games, and ice cream. A memorable day connecting classroom learning with the city’s cultural inspiration.

Learning at RIS goes beyond the classroom. Our woodland campus becomes a living classroom where students explore, observe, and ask questions daily. Outdoor learning builds curiosity, independence, creativity, and connection to the world.

Spring in Nursery!
Children created a “Spring & New Life” meadow using painting & collage, with a surprise chick inside a pop-open egg. Plus, edible nests in cookery! Enjoy the holidays—see you for Term 3 on 13 April. Join our April stay & play!

Throwback to March: our Year 10 & 11 students explored Budapest, the “Pearl of the Danube.” A rich trip beyond the classroom, discovering history, culture & iconic landmarks—from Pest to the Jewish Quarter—bringing humanities to life.

Small actions, big impact!
Our students went all-out for Eco Week—clean-ups, green outfits, and eco photo snaps showing sustainability in action. A highlight? Caring daily for our veggie patch and green spaces.
Way to go, eco-warriors!

At RIS, Rome is our classroom.
Year 10 explored the “Flowers” exhibition at @chiostrodelbramante_roma—where art, science and history meet.
From interactive tech to bee-made sculptures and immersive installations, learning moved beyond school walls. 🌸
