Values and vision
The RGS believes passionately in preparing our students for the challenges of a rapidly-changing, global future, as well as providing them with excellent foundations so that they can have the most ambitious of aspirations at university and beyond. Our bespoke Learning Habits nurture and develop all those transferable skills which will set up our young men irrespective of their chosen path: thinking critically, being independent and creative, being resilient and self-motivated; collaborating and working together, and being equally confident as leader or as part of a team.
Our timeless School Values – inclusivity; scholarship; integrity; respect; tenacity; and service – which are embedded in the curricular and extra-curricular life of the School ensure RGS students emerge as humble, grounded and decent young men committed to making the very best of each and every opportunity and to making a difference to others.
