OVERVIEW

The Royal Grammar School Newcastle is a leading independent co-educational day school for students aged 7-18.

As one of the country’s best performing schools, we consistently lead all northern schools in national league tables and pride ourselves on academic excellence; a high level of pastoral support; opportunities across a wide range of sports, performing arts and other co-curricular activities; and – crucially – our commitment to our community.

The foundations of our sense of social responsibility can be found in our 500 year-old history; Thomas Horsley, the original settler of RGS pledged his legacy in 1525 to create the city’s first learning institution.

Half a millennium later the school continues to flourish and this ambition of social impact is front and centre to everything we do. We believe in the infinite potential of our region and are driven to raise the attainment and aspiration of young people from across the North East.
