Rhiannon left FHS in 2003, before attending both Cambridge University and Central St Martins. She has since become an award-winning photographer and has been chosen, out of over a million applicants from creative industries, to be the only female crew member in the dearMoon Crew, who will be flying to the moon later this year!

In her speech when she unveiled the Linhope House opening plaque, Rhiannon described how her time at FHS has empowered and inspired her and helped her achieve such amazing success in her life and career to date, saying:

“The academic rigour mixed with the pastoral care, and the independence that becoming a Francis Holland girl gives you, is completely life-changing. FHS allowed me to dream and to achieve my potential.”

Thank you so much, Rhiannon, you are a true inspiration to us all!
