RHS Superstars: Congratulations to Mr Joseph on receiving an MBE

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that our very own Mr Julius Joseph, Head of Year 10, has been awarded an MBE in the King’s Birthday Honours List 2025 for services to basketball.

Mr Joseph has a remarkable background in the sport, and received an MBE leading the England basketball team to gold at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. After this, Mr Joseph set up the Ball Out 3x3 tournament in 2014, which promotes the short-sided form of the game in Britain. 

Mr Joseph’s passion for the game shines through in our school community, where he leads one of our most popular Above & Beyond Clubs – the basketball club. At its peak, the club welcomed over 50 students, a testament to Mr Joseph’s dedication and enthusiasm for the sport, and his ability to inspire others to play.

We are proud to celebrate this achievement with him and know that his continued work - both in school and beyond - will inspire even more young people to chase their dreams. Congratulations Mr Joseph!
