RGS GIVING DAY 2020 THANK YOU
Thank you to the 1,361 pupils, OGs, parents of OGs and former and current staff for supporting our 2020 Giving Day. For the second year we held our digital donation event over 28 hours in October 2020. The house competition theme attracted supporters across the globe as our six houses (Austen, Beckingham, Hamonde, Nettles, Powell and Valpy) campaigned to see who would come out on top. Austen House took the cup for the highest number of donors and Powell took top billing for funds raised. Because of your generosity we successfully completed our Twenty for 2020 Campaign and are funding the education of 20 bright local boys. The RGS will support these boys through their entire secondary school education. In seven years, these exceptional young men will leave us with confidence, curiosity and the values inherent to the RGS.
Being able to provide means-tested support enriches the lives of all those in the School. The programme benefits not just those who receive bursaries but, by widening access, fulfils a social purpose and strengthens academic achievement. Thank you for helping us pass on the gift of education to the next generation.
