  1. 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.

    • Some comments are held for manual moderation. As I am busy writing/taking calls etc, they do not always get moderated immediately

  2. They were supposed to be sending Andrews, but he’s already booked in at Pizza Express that day. The students are audibly relieved.

    • 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.

  3. 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.
