In the summer of Year 13, after all the hard work and hours of exams, our most senior students celebrate the end of their school education both at the School Prizegiving evening and with a beautiful Graduation event for their families, friends and teachers.
Armed with academic qualifications, life skills, several languages and the support from their friends and teachers, our Year 13 students leave KR3 as proud, confident young men and women.
At King Richard III College, our students usually move on to study at University and we make it a priority to support them through the application process; choosing courses, universities, preparing for interviews and - ultimately - accepting a place on results day in August. During PSHE in Years 12 & 13 students participate in seminars and workshops delivered by visiting international universities and our students have the opportunity to visit the University Fair.
At KR3, we have an excellent record of students gaining places at universities in the UK, Spain and further afield. In the last 2 years, our Year 13 students have gained places at universities such as:

Both Tarrida boys joined us in 2008. They are moving to Scotland due to their father's work. Both boys speak English, Spanish and German. They spent 3 years at our school.
"Fortunately in life you experience moments where you find out that at some stage you took the right decision. When Laura and myself decided a couple of years ago that we wanted Sergio and Marco to join King Richard III, we were basically driven by 2 priorities: to have them learn good manners and forms of behaviour and have them in a Quality and English speaking system and environment to be better prepared for future and if dad's profession calls for a strategic move to have maximum geographic flexibility.
We would be lying if we did not say that the four of us left both KR3 and Mallorca with sadness but while we are settling in very well at The Turnberry Resort on the beautiful Scottish West coast, we know that in life "you always meet twice".
Rocia Gimena started school at the age of 3. She is Spanish and a resident of Mallorca. She is now 18 and has been accepted to study medicine at university.
"King Richard III College has been the school in which I have spent all of my academic life. Its been sad to say goodbye this year, since I have bonded very closely to the school and the teachers.
I have had many experiences here, and I have had a wonderful childhood full of joy and laughter. This school is different to the rest, because you really get to know the students and teachers, since its a small school. To me it has been beneficial in many ways; the classes have been very fun, and I have also learned a lot, not only in the academic aspect but also socially. I am really going to miss this school, especially because I know I will probably never be in small classes and have such a close relationship with teachers ever again. I hope the next generations at this school enjoy it as much as I have, and that they realize how lucky they are to study here, because it will open their doors in many ways. Thank you King Richard for giving me this opportunity and these years, they will always stay in my heart."
