Class of 2024

We believe in the power of education to change lives. You can support one bright local boy and ensure they reach their potential through an RGS education.

Educating the brightest local boys, irrespective of their financial means, is fundamental to who we are as a school, but it is also vital for the wider society. If we are to meet the challenges of the 21st century, we are going to need the sharpest minds to collaborate and innovate. They must work with and embrace those from different cultures, religions and backgrounds. They will be taught how to think, not what to think, and they will always be learning – this is the education the RGS offers.

RGS students receive bursary support

Class of… Bursaries

In 2017, we launched this initiative – a simple way for the families of the graduating Upper Sixth students to hold open the door for a promising local boy.

Through the collective power of families making monthly or annual gifts over seven years, another bright local student would be able to take up their RGS place – a powerful and meaningful living legacy of your time at the RGS.

You can make your gift in a way that suits you:

Iain, Michelle & Stuart Brown

Stuart has benefitted hugely from his time at the RGS in the company of so many bright, interesting individuals who push themselves and others to impressive achievements in a wide range of activities.

We are very happy to have the opportunity to be involved with, and contribute to, the Class of 2024 Bursary Fund to make it possible for other bright boys to benefit from an RGS education.

Helen, Richard & John Kershaw

We have had the joy of watching both our sons experience an RGS education and the combination of academic enrichment, extracurricular opportunities, pastoral care and the company of amazing boys and staff has helped shape them into young men we are very proud of.

We are very pleased to be part of the Class of 2024 bursary initiative, making it possible for other bright local boys to have access to the same opportunities in the future.

Salima Shariff, Arthur & Esa Mitchell

Esa has developed into a kind and generous human being. RGS has provided him with the launchpad of skills, experiences and opportunities that will last with him forever.

By investing in young minds, we’re not only aiding individual growth but also contributing to the development of society as a whole. It allows the school to continue to create a more diverse and inclusive school environment, enriching the learning experience for all students, staff and our community.
