My name is Ben and I left RGS in 2022. I am studying History at the University of Exeter, and I like playing football, squash and watching films.

I am studying banking and finance at the University of Leeds.

My hobbies are – hockey, football, music.

I chose to become a caller as my time as a senior mentor inspired me to keep trying to help others in the RGS community.

Engineering – University of Cambridge

3 Hobbies: Playing sports (Rugby, football, gym, boxing), Travelling, Reading

I am currently studying Economics, Psychology and Philosophy at Warwick university. At university I have just been elected as the social secretary of our water polo and swimming team. I am proud to be part of RGS’ 2024 telethon campaign and make a positive impact on the lives of talented students.

I am currently enjoying studying Biology at Durham University. I am in second year and enjoy playing badminton and squash while also making time for drama endeavours. I like the social aspects of these hobbies, and they allow me to thrive by balancing my academic pursuits with much needed down-time. My time at RGS has inspired my current hobbies and molded my character, so reminiscing and talking about RGS with OGs and former parents should be great fun.

I’m currently studying Arabic and Japanese at the University of Leeds.

Three current interests/ hobbies of mine include: running (I am training for the Lisbon marathon in October), chess and football, both as spectator and player.

I have chosen to be a telethon caller so that I can share my passion for the school with parents and alumni who have the ability to help some less fortunate, bright young men join RGS. So then they can enjoy the same top quality education and formative experiences that I had the privilege to enjoy myself.
