If you are offered a place and have accepted, you will be invited to our New Boy’s Afternoon in July. This event allows our new joiners to meet one another, become acquainted with their teachers, familiar with the school layout and get a taste for life at RGS Prep.
We strongly believe in recommending the right senior school for each individual. Throughout your son’s time here, we monitor their progress and discuss their interests and ambitions. With this information, recommendations are made for schools where we believe individuals will thrive. Historically, around 60% of pupils move on to the RGS Senior school but with over 30 schools to choose from, parental choice is certainly not limited.

The RGS adopts an inclusive policy and pupils with Special Educational Needs are offered the opportunity to join the School if they satisfy the School’s selection procedures. Parents may be asked to contribute to any special resources. Pupils with Special Educational Needs will have access to the whole school curriculum and be fully integrated into the School. Exceptional circumstances, which may affect such access, will be dealt with on an individual basis in consultation with the Head of Learning Support, Head of Year, Deputy Heads, parents and the pupil.
