We remain loyal to our founding principles to educate bright local students, irrespective of background or financial circumstances, and we inherently believe in establishing a culture of diversity and acceptance, and in educating our students in a welcoming, tolerant community where each individual is valued and enjoys a deep sense of belonging.
RESPECT
We nurture an atmosphere of mutual respect between all members of our community, and foster self-respect and selfesteem in terms of physical health, emotional maturity and personal wellbeing, while establishing lasting friendships in a positive, happy environment.
Our School Values are at the very
heart of our ethos.
SCHOLARSHIP
We encourage the growth of intellectual curiosity, independence, creativity, innovation and habits of learning within a scholarly community through inspirational subject specialists who provoke and stretch the students’ minds and inculcate a lifelong love of learning.
COURAGE
We develop leadership, teamwork, resilience and life skills through a diverse range of activities where all students, regardless of their talents and attributes, are encouraged to challenge themselves, take appropriate risks and work hard to fulfil their potential.
INTEGRITY
We promote the development of self-discipline and responsibility, spirituality and a personal moral code, and cultivate an ethos where enduring qualities of decency, honesty, courtesy, humility and good humour are celebrated.
COLLABORATION
We work closely with others for mutual enrichment, and encourage a spirit of generosity and service, a sense of perspective, and a firm belief that we can work in partnership with others, locally and internationally, to make a difference and have a positive impact on society.
Walk down any High Street, spend any time online shopping, and you are immediately bombarded with sales and offers, bargains and deals. Lurid fluorescent signs, flashing online banners all try and lure you in. Understandably, in the current climate, consumers are driven by value for money. In terms of education, the concept of value is complicated; it is manifold. In the last decade or so schools have been judged variously by public examination results, or by the diversity of the co-curricular provision, or by the latest inspection report.
generations and nurtured humble and yet confident individuals who can be themselves, can think independently, are aware of – and open about – their mental health and wellbeing, have a broad range of interests, and have a desire to make an impact upon society and improve the lives of others.
“If our students are happy then they have the potential to harbour the most ambitious of aspirations, and then to achieve their goals.”
For me, as I look through this latest edition of The Review, our overview of the last twelve months, the answer to the question of value in schools is clear: some aspects tangible, others slightly more subtle. I often say that examination results will get our students a job interview, but – alone –they will not secure the offer of a job. The success of the RGS is the fact that every single experience, every single opportunity, every single interaction contributes to the development of each individual. Whether this is performing on stage or in a concert, representing the School in sport or in Model United Nations, pushing boundaries on trips or expeditions, prioritising others through mentoring or charity or volunteering: the value of a good education is the richness of experience and opportunity. The success of the RGS is built upon remaining true to our ethos and values: the cornerstones of an education which has served students so well for
Our values of inclusivity, scholarship, integrity, respect, courage and collaboration are therefore the lifeblood of our school; they are what makes the RGS, and our students, so special. Although harder to illustrate than headline public examination results or achievement on the sports field, success lies in our ongoing commitment to nurturing a culture of respect for all, to being kind and supportive, to having an altruistic outlook, to being resilient and flexible, to embedding those transferable skills – our Learning Habits – which allow our students to thrive as citizens in the modern, global world.
As I look through this edition of The Review and as I walk around the RGS on a daily basis, it is the vibrancy, joie de vivre and energy of our students which always strike me. Friendliness, laughter and smiling individuals characterise the classrooms and corridors of the RGS. If our students are happy then they have the potential to harbour the most ambitious of aspirations and then achieve their goals, and if this edition of The Review is anything to go by then our students could not have a more exciting future ahead of them. And this is a tempting offer which is, I hope, very hard to resist!

RGS Family
In 5th-century Greece, the storyteller Aesop in his fable The Bundle of Sticks illustrated the moral that there is strength in unity. Motivational quotes on the power of togetherness abound: united we stand, divided we fall, being just one such example. A close-knit community has always been at the very heart of the RGS. Friendship and camaraderie, openness and honesty, shared values and ethos – all with a ready smile – mean students and staff, parents and governors all pull in the same direction. As Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.” #RGSTogether.
"Kindness, tolerance and mutual respect pervade every aspect of school life."

ISI Inspection, 2025
Academic Report
Academic enrichment is about so much more than grades and exam percentages, never more so than in the current climate. The growth of intellectual curiosity, independence, creativity, habits of learning within a scholarly community are all at the heart of an RGS education.
Individual Highlights
RGS students achieved outstanding success across a range of national academic competitions. In the British Physics Olympiad, multiple Golds were awarded, including a Top Gold, with strong performances from the Lower Sixth. The Biology Olympiad saw 59% of entrants earn medals, including 10 Golds awarded to the top 5% nationally. Chemistry Olympiad results were similarly impressive, with several students placing in the top 1% and Lower Sixth students securing Golds. Beyond the sciences, one student won a national writing prize in the Show Racism the Red Card competition, and another progressed to the semifinals of the Historical Association’s prestigious Great Debate.
World Book Week
World Book Week provided the perfect opportunity to celebrate the central role reading plays in both academic and personal development. The week featured a rich programme of visiting authors, workshops, assemblies and literary activities, all designed to inspire intellectual curiosity and continued engagement with literature. Ms Wijesinghe, Head of English, spoke about the power of reading to cultivate empathy, challenge prejudice and provide a counterbalance to misinformation in the digital age. A diverse selection of books exposed students to new ideas, cultures, and perspectives, while creative writing workshops for the Lower School encouraged imagination and selfexpression.
"Pupils develop a breadth of knowledge and enthusiasm for scholarship. This is a significant strength of the school."

200 Seconds
The 200 Seconds competition, open to all students in First and Second Form, challenges participants to deliver a presentation within a strict 200-second limit. This year’s Grand Final, held in collaboration with RGSG Dubai, featured a diverse range of interpretations on the theme “iconic”, from Star Wars to disability, showcasing students’ creativity, insight, and public speaking skill. The standard was exceptionally high across both schools, with Thomas Jacob (Second Form, RGS Guildford) named overall winner for his outstanding presentation. The event celebrated student voice, intellectual curiosity, and the growing spirit of international collaboration within the RGS community.
Independent Learning Assignment
The Independent Learning Assignment (ILA) allowed Lower Sixth students to pursue research on topics of personal interest, while the ORIS award offered research opportunities at academic institutions with expert guidance. This year’s projects ranged from knot theory to advanced materials analysis. Ruvin Meda was awarded the ILA Arts/Humanities Award for his original film music, while Thomas Dowson received the ILA STEM Award for his research in knot theory. Joel Sellers was recognised with the inaugural ORIS Award for his work on microplastics.
Our first Junior ILA Celebration Evening marked the end of a competition where Third and Fourth Form students, mentored by Sixth Formers, presented impressive research at a lively science fair, showcasing strong inquiry and ambition.
GCSE Results
RGS students were rewarded for two years of impressive endeavour, disciplined application and rigorous preparation with an outstanding set of GCSE results.
nine or more grade 8 or 9s 70 students achieved

ART
“ The RGS allows students to be creative and explorative when showing passion for their chosen subjects.”
- RGS Parent
The stunning architecture and design of the Art School, and the inspiration and guidance of the staff, once again provided the setting for work of quite extraordinary quality and originality from our students; the climax of which was the annual Summer Exhibition.
A wide range of style and media from GCSE and A Level students, as well as submissions for competitions such as the House Art Competition, was very much in evidence as work of remarkable diversity, innovation and maturity was produced throughout the year.
The annual House Art Competition produced a wide range of submissions in various media from students throughout the School with The Smoothey Prize paying homage to Ronald Smoothey MBE,
a former student and Art master whose energy, creativity and eccentricity still inspire our artists today. This year’s theme, Opposites, sparked entries of remarkable skill and imagination.
Design & Technology
The John Brown Building houses our stunning Design and Technology Centre with state-of-the-art rooms and cutting-edge technology.
This environment allows students to continue to innovate, to refine and develop a range of practical skills and to realise their ambitious designs in various media: whether it is junior students participating in the Great Egg Race or older students completing more advanced projects and design. Experienced, committed staff are always on hand to advise, support and inspire.

DRAMA
Drama saw a diverse range of plays being staged – from traditional classics to original productions –maintaining a commitment to provide access for all students to experience, and contribute to, every aspect of the creative process from page to stage, from acting and performing to lighting, sound and set. Close collaboration with local girls' schools continued to be the hallmark of many of the opportunities provided.
The CanTerbury Tales
Chaucer was dead—or at least, four medieval alchemists tried to revive him by gathering his famous pilgrims to tell their tales at the lively Tabard Inn, with Chaucer watching from the front row and the audience involved in the action. The students’ performance was full of infectious energy and enthusiasm, bringing colourful, flamboyant characters like the sly Pardoner, bawdy Wife of Bath, bumbling King Arthur, and boozy Miller to life. Their dynamic acting, vibrant costumes, and spirited delivery captured the essence of each tale with playful humour and strong stage presence. The cast’s chemistry shone through, especially in moments of audience participation, slapstick comedy, and cheeky innuendo, creating a fun, immersive experience. The finale’s toe-tapping ensemble earned sustained applause, proving that the students’ lively, irreverent take on The Canterbury Tales was a brilliant celebration that truly resurrected Chaucer’s spirit.
"The actors moved seamlessly between roles, bringing energy, humour, and charm to each vividly staged moment."
LE BOSSU DE NOTRE-DAME
A little of Paris came to Guildford with the MFL production of Le Bossu de Notre-Dame, an adaptation of Victor Hugo’s gothic classic, brought the heartwrenching tale of Quasimodo and Esmeralda to life with stunning artistry and emotional depth. Set against the intimate Tudor backdrop of the Old Building, the cast delivered powerful, poignant performances, capturing Quasimodo’s vulnerability and strength alongside Esmeralda’s grace and sensitivity. The supporting roles and vibrant ensemble added depth and humour, while the haunting music, masterfully conducted and arranged, filled the space with periodappropriate melodies that enhanced the emotional impact. Performing entirely in French, the cast navigated the linguistic and dramatic challenges with aplomb, delivering a moving and captivating production that captured the complex web of love, hate, and obsession with brilliance and flair.
ERNIE'S INCREDIBLE ILLUCINATIONS
The junior school production of Alan Ayckbourn’s Ernie’s Incredible Illucinations followed Ernie, a likeable boy whose wild daydreams unexpectedly spilled into real life, creating absurd and hilarious situations. The enthusiastic young cast, many making their stage debut, delivered a sharp and funny adaptation that zipped through a series of imaginative scenes, from a military raid and a daring helicopter rescue to a fairground challenge and a secret agent encounter.
The actors moved seamlessly between roles, bringing energy, humour, and charm to each vividly staged moment, including a toe-tapping marching band finale. Playful and full of mischief, the performance was a riotous and endearing romp that left the audience joyfully caught up in Ernie’s wild world.
Another inspiring year for music at the RGS incorporated performances in settings from the intimate to the grand scale, from local to further afield, from the Recital Room, Holy Trinity Church and G Live to Evensong in iconic locations. The quality of musicianship impressed appreciative audiences and further cemented the School’s established reputation for musicality at the very highest level.
MUSIC
Musical Notes
A full and varied programme included a succession of highlights: the Joint Schools’ Chamber Choir, in conjunction with Guildford High School, made a return visit to sing Evensong at St Paul’s Cathedral on Remembrance Day as well as making their inaugural visit to sing at St George’s Chapel, Windsor. Musician of the Year and the Concerto Concert with Southern Pro Musica remain highlights of the musical year and are fantastic opportunities to showcase the outstanding levels of musicianship in the School. Holy Trinity Church was not only the venue for the popular monthly Market Day concerts, but also for the Orchestral Concert in November, which featured works by both Ravel and Fauré . Other school concerts included the Ensembles Concert, the Junior and Senior Piano Concerts, and the biannual rock gig at The Boileroom.
Musician of the Year
Established to celebrate the extraordinary talent of our students, RGS Musician of the Year is a highlight of the school’s musical calendar. This year’s final was adjudicated by Mr Robert Patterson, whose distinguished career as an organist includes roles at Hampton Court Palace, New College Oxford, and Winchester Cathedral. Choosing a winner from six exceptional finalists was no easy task, as each delivered complex pieces with impressive technical and musical skill. Ultimately, by the narrowest of margins, Robert awarded The Steynor Prize to George Christiansen, whose beautifully crafted programme combined technical prowess with genuine artistry.
G Live Concert
The biennial Joint Concert at G Live brought together over 350 performers from the RGS, Guildford High School, and the Parents and Staff Choir for an extraordinary evening of music. Featuring a rich programme of orchestral and choral works from Vaughan Williams to Brahms and Handel, the concert showcased outstanding talent and collaboration. Under the expert direction of Sam Orchard and Grayson Jones, the event combined energy, precision, and emotion, delighting a packed audience and celebrating a strong community spirit between the two schools.

Field Days
The range, number and diversity of Clubs and Societies continues to impress catering to every interest and passion, for the active and the cerebral equally!
On our five Field Days each year, the normal teaching timetable is suspended; every single student and member of staff is involved in co-curricular pursuits.
Every Monday afternoon, the co-curricular life of the School takes precedence during Period 8 activities; half the students are involved in the Combined Cadet Force and Outdoor Pursuits.
During the last 12 months over 200 students have taken part in Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expeditions; we have also presented 76 Bronze, 21 Silver and 17 Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards.
The exceptional range of co-curricular activities is one of the greatest strengths of the School. Such activities are central in developing the character of the students and in nurturing teamwork, leadership, independence and resilience. Equally importantly, the diversity and richness of experience allow each individual to find their passions and follow their own path, wherever that may lead them.

Major Sport
The philosophy of Sport for All was very much in evidence throughout the year as over 20 teams regularly played competitive fixtures against other schools at weekends; a challenging fixture list saw the RGS students pitch themselves – and impress – against some of the very best schools in the south-east, gaining national recognition in the process. Wide-spread participation, energy and passion, sportsmanship and fair play, diverse opportunity, along with elite coaching and performance continued to be the hallmarks of RGS sport.
Notable achievements
In a year of sporting success, the following highlights stand out individually and collectively: Under 14 Tier 1 National Plate hockey winners; the 1st XV rugby victory
over Epsom College; the 1st VII Senior South Coast rugby 7s Plate Winners; ISGA national golf tournament runners-up; the 1st XI Area Cup Finalists in football beating Hampton and Royal Russell Schools en route; the 1st XI cricket runners-up at the RGS Festival; 101 Under 12 students representing the School in rugby on Super Friday against The Judd School; the increase in the number of games in hockey and cricket against local girls’ schools; more athletics meets than ever before with over 200 students representing the School at local, regional and national levels; as well as national or international recognition for individuals in sports ranging from hockey to golf, from sailing to pole vault, from badminton to ski-racing, from shooting to biathlon and triathlon.
Every student belongs in sportwhere confidence, respect and a lifelong love of movement are nurtured." "
As well as wide-spread participation, our philosophy of Sport for All encourages each individual to find their passion and nurture their talent, irrespective of which field that may be. Our impressive onsite facilities including the Sports Hall, modern fitness suite, astro pitch, shooting range and climbing wall are supplemented by our enviable 20-acre sports ground at Bradstone Brook in the picturesque Surrey Hills, as well as the use of state-of-the-art facilities in Guildford and the local area. With supportive, inspiring and high-level coaching the opportunities for RGS students are extensive and exciting.
Sport for All
CHARITY
RGS students and staff continued to make an impact upon the world outside the RGS as they seized the initiative to involve themselves with humour, energy and enthusiasm in community and charitable events as well as volunteering and conservation projects. Collaboration, altruism, perspective, and generosity of time and spirit remained the hallmarks of students determined to make a difference.
With over 50 charities put forward by staff and students and over 700 votes, the genuine engagement in this year’s charities spoke volumes for the desire of the whole community to make a difference to others. In addition to individual events which fundraised for charities including Transform Housing & Support, our nominated local, national, and international charities were as follows: The Fountain Centre (local); The Felix Project (national); and War Child (international).
NOMINATED CHARITIES SLEEP OUT
44 students and staff took part in the annual sleep out in the Quad to raise money for Transform Housing & Support, a local charity based in Leatherhead. The sleep out itself was a stark reminder of how difficult life can be without the security of a warm bed and roof overhead. Even with dry weather and the safety of a school setting, the experience was challenging. This was just one night — for many, it’s every night. With over £6,000 raised, the event was a great success.
Over £155,400
has been raised over the past five years: a phenomenal achievement.
OUTSTANDING FUNDRAISING
BAKE-OFF EVENTS
For the ultimate test of tenacity, creativity, precision, imitation, independence and reacting positively to failure, the eleventh annual Great RGS Bake-Off once again proved to be the ultimate test of all of these and more! This year’s theme was Oops! which was interpreted broadly and imaginatively – a range of baking mishaps, spillages, cracked ‘china’ and a homage to the tree that fell outside of the Old Building last year! There were some very impressive bakes and, once again, the standard across the board from staff and students was extraordinary as the panel of judges rated the cakes on taste, presentation, originality and wow factor.
RGS students enjoyed getting involved in various community projects as they gave generously of their time for the benefit of local residents. Initiatives included trips to Pilgrim Wood, Guildford House Care Homes and Abbot’s Hospital among others, where students of all ages engaged with and entertained residents. Students also energetically threw themselves into a range of conservation projects for the benefit of the local environment. In addition, there were a number of charitable events including the House pancake races, non-uniform days, the Christmas Fair, the Stand-Up Comedy night, Family Charity Quiz, food banks, to name but a few!
HOUSE
The House system is a vibrant and central part of life at the RGS; students take immense pride in representing their House and sporting a House tie or colours. Each of the six Houses, named after benefactors of the School, compete for the eagerly-contested, annual Hardy Cup. The focus is on participation and teamwork, respect
HARDY CUP 2024-25
and fun. This year’s competition was no different with students having the opportunity to compete in a range of events, designed to cater to all ages, interests and skill levels!
International
We are delighted that our international schools continue to grow in both size and in reputation as they firmly establish themselves in their regions. Our students now number over 3,400 across our four international campuses, with our Guildford school bringing the total number of RGS students to over 4,700.
EXCELLENT INSPECTIONS across our international family of schools
The goals for our international schools remain to foster global cultural engagement, encourage partnerships, to enhance the School’s reputation and to generate income to support the Guildford school and its students.

Heads' Forum
Commitment to excellence
Alongside RGS Guildford’s recent ISI inspection, our schools have earned strong recognition internationally, reflecting our commitment to excellent education. RGSG Dubai achieved an ‘Outstanding’ BSO rating following last year’s ‘Very Good’ KHDA result, while RGSG Qatar was rated as providing a good quality education. Both reports praised academic standards and pastoral care, and RGSG Muscat, though not yet inspected, is building solid foundations for future evaluation.
RGSG Dubai hosted Heads from across the region for a thought-provoking Heads’ Forum. Bringing together school leaders from a range of international contexts, the Forum provided a valuable platform to connect, collaborate and share best practices in education. From strategic discussions to the exchange of ideas around teaching, learning and leadership, the event highlighted the power of partnership in shaping the future of international education.
Community
Our Bursary Programme is designed to support the brightest minds through either Entrance or Hardship Bursaries, ensuring that talent and potential are the only criteria for admission.
A community that reflects the broadest range of backgrounds enriches everyone. It brings different perspectives into the classroom and helps shape a better future for all.
