‘Ughhh ,my trust fund only has £400 in it!’ – newly turned 18 year old 

RHS’s own trust fund child

‘There’s a group of three boys in Nelson who keep a purple hippo locked in the clocktower and feed it after mess and sometimes you can hear it; he’s called Richard btw’ – interesting…

Richard who lives in the Clocktower

‘Mr Hodson was seen picking mushrooms at lunch’ – various

The St Georges day mushroom – The Yr 13 English class’s favourite

‘My apple pencil keeps on getting stolen at the pigeonholes’ – Yeah, I heard estates dismantled the pigeon holes – only to find it wasn’t there..

‘RHS memes is so dead now; whoever is the new admin has seriously caused its downfall’

No new content in 2 years- do better! There claim to fame is an original Mr Dixon quote, but c’mon guys this has been seriously lacking for years. Will it ever reach its golden age of 2019 again: who knows?!

Oxford Brookes – aka every Year 13’s insurance

‘It’s a shame the Eton vs RHS basketball match wasn’t a home game, I could’ve got the snapchat of an Eton boy and perhaps could’ve become a Lord’

‘Do the Year 7 and 8’s seriously think they can get past us at the chapel wall!’ – Prefect

For real, do you think we don’t see you trying to sneak around the sides…

‘I heard Ben W’s favourite icecream is pear and vanilla!’ – I can confirm, I was there. This may just be the poshest flavour ever, but Ben’s verdict – it was very dry.
