RGS pupil receiving his degreeRGS - Good Reason to be Proud

The Sutton Trust has carried out an analysis of admissions to the 'Sutton 13' research led universities during 2002 - 2006 which involved more than 1 million students from 3,700 UK schools and colleges. Among other conclusions, the Trust published a table showing the percentage of university entrants from each school that went to the 'Sutton 13' top universities. It is with immense pride and satisfaction that the hard work and achievement of Sixth Formers and staff at RGS have been acknowledged by RGS being placed at the top of the league table, see results table below.

Clive's sponsored ride to raise money for Alzheimer sufferers:

On the starting line

I finally finished my 1000 mile unsupported solo cycle ride from Lands End to John O’Groats at 230pm on Sunday 12th August and I can safely say it was the hardest thing I have ever done both physically and mentally.

If I was advising someone else who wanted to do this, then I would say take the most direct route (874miles), take a lot longer than 10 days and ride with someone else. I spoke to a couple who spent 3 weeks doing it and they still said never again! However, like me they raised a lot of money for a very worthwhile cause, so it was worth doing every mile.

However, it was an incredible feeling of elation and accomplishment, as I arrived weather beaten and sore at my journey’s end and I would just like to say a very big thank you to all those who have already pledged support for my challenge.  I am very grateful to you and you have helped to raise in excess of an amazing £6,000. My initial target was £3000, so it’s thanks to you all, that it has doubled.

End of the RoadFor those of you who thought you'd support but haven't had a chance to go online to do the deed, it's not too late.   Every contribution however large or small will make a difference. 
See my website.

As ever, please forgive the intrusion and feel no compulsion.

If you would rather send a cheque, then please send it for my attention to: The Royal Grammar School, Amersham Road HP13 6QT.

Please make the cheque payable to the ‘Alzheimer’s society’ and I will forward it to them, with the other cheques I already have.

OR

If you would like the funds to go direct to where my Dad and others like him receive care (the Templeton centre in Northwood Hills), then please make a cheque payable to me (C.R.Greenhough) and send it into me at school and I will put it towards buying them some sort of fitness equipment.

Wishing you a great summer!

A very appreciative and tired
