Richard Parsons (1986-1991) 

Richard is an award-winning magician and member of the Magic Circle. Here is what he had to say about his time spent at Rendcomb:

“I went on two fantastic art trips to Amsterdam and Paris with Mr Griffiths and team and I loved being in the art room – the art teachers were a bit more maverick than the others, almost like friends. They treated us as equals and really loved life and art and expressing yourself, I think back to my time in the art block really fondly and I’m pleased that I did Art A level, even though I don’t paint any more.”

We caught up with Andrew  to find out what he thought of life at Rendcomb: 
 
“I think that my career and my future was built upon the time I spent at Rendcomb. Without the fantastic teaching and prep time support, I wouldn’t have achieved such good results. My love of everything outdoors was bred from the opportunities we had in so many sports and activities at the school.”
