Students at Royal Harbour Academy in Ramsgate are awaiting a special visit today (September 30) from HRH The Princess Royal.
The Princess Royal will be arriving by helicopter at the school before meeting with students and staff, The visit means the upper site of RHA will be locked down until early afternoon.
It is understood the visit will involve speaking to students and staff about their experiences of schooling during the pandemic.
An RHA message says: “Staff and students at the Royal Harbour Academy eagerly await the arrival of The Princess Royal, who will be arriving by helicopter and meeting with some of our students and staff later today.”
The Princess Royal (Princess Anne) holds patronage in over 300 organisations, including WISE, Riders for Health, and Carers Trust. Her charity work revolves around sport, sciences, people with disabilities, and health in developing countries. She has been associated with Save the Children for over fifty years and has visited a number of their projects; her work resulted in her nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990.
What a place to visit, she will end up wondering if all schools are this bad.
Not as bas as it was back in the 80s
is that what you think?
Yes, definitely, I used to teach there (at least that’s what they called it at the time).
So that makes you a royal harbour academy reject then. LOL.
Shows what you know. This school is achieving well.
Lovely to see the Royals haven’t forgotten where Thanet is. The Royal Harbour Academy is a good example of a Thanet school, it is largely improved on the old days.

They were supposed to be sending Andrews, but he’s already booked in at Pizza Express that day. The students are audibly relieved.
😂 Brilliant comment.
Yes, I bet Andrew was still swetting, in case he had to attend somewhere with children.
Oh, hang on, what’s that about him swetting, surely not.
Why do people not want their names to be seen?
its just the internet, you can be anyone or anything you want..
Why didn’t a member of the Royal family come to our celebration?
RHA wasn’t supposed to be called Royal Harbour, so they came today the make it official due to them not being qualified to be called Royal until a real Royal Family member visits, so congrats on RHA.
Here’s a question Ramsgatonian, why did she come here at all?
I go there currently and I saw the helicopter and all that stuff, I joined a couple months ago from Charles Dickens, i’ve been to three different secondary schools and this is by far the best, the studies are a bit rude to the teachers I cannot lie, but other than that it’s an amazing school now.
