DIALOGUE Issue #6 2021
FAREWELL AND THANK YOU We said farewell and thank you to several staff who have retired from the RGS after many years of outstanding service to the School. These people have given hugely of their time, professionalism and dedication to pupils, colleagues and parents alike, and we are profoundly grateful for their contribution to School life in so many ways.
We said farewell and thank you to Georgie Grant Haworth, Development Director from 2014–2021 who led and completed a hugely successful fundraising campaign to create 20 transformational bursaries by 2020 (80% fees or more) to enable bright boys to take up their place at the RGS regardless of their financial circumstances. Georgie is now freelancing in the world of Development and Fundraising, sharing her expertise, energy and knowledge with other institutions.

Jenny Crouch, Biology Teacher 1998-2006, 20172021 was treasured by pupils and staff alike and we were delighted when she returned to the RGS Biology Department in 2017. Lyn Robbins and Janet Ward in the School Office were the first point of contact at the RGS for countless people and influenced the lives of generations of boys, parents and visitors on a daily basis. David Woolcott taught Classics and was for many years Hamonde House Master. He was also Master-in-charge of Shooting and led the boys to continued success in this great tradition at the School, with commitment and enthusiasm.
