Aims of the School

In order to equip our young people for life in the 21st Century we aim:

To develop confident and resilient young people with high self esteem.
To give all an opportunity to shine, to take calculated risks and to celebrate their achievements.
To develop responsible global citizens who make a positive contribution to their communities.
To develop a culture of excellence that stretches and challenges all.
To provide opportunities for individual students to reflect on and be responsible for their own learning, identify personal goals and areas for improvement and to be supported in achieving their aspirations.
To work with parents and carers to ensure their own and their child's learning and personal development.
To provide a safe environment where personal and professional development are supported.

Aims of our Curriculum

The driving principle of our curriculum is that knowledge is empowering. Our intention is to provide our students with the knowledge they need to be successful citizens of our community and the world. Subjects are led by specialists whose aim is academic excellence in their discipline. Through this students will gain a rich web of knowledge, promoting a deep understanding of the subjects they learn. Higher level reading and rhetoric underpins our curriculum and fosters success both in school and beyond the walls of our classrooms. Ultimately, our intention is that RGS students leave with a thirst for learning and an awe and wonder of the world that surrounds them.
