Headmaster's Welcome
It is a rare privilege to lead a school with such a rich history and a vibrant future. At the Royal Grammar School High Wycombe, we are proud of our heritage and excited about where we are going. Our vision is to offer all our students an exceptional, all-round education that will prepare them not just for exams, but for a life of leadership, collaboration, and meaningful contribution.
"Tradition that Evolves"
For over 450 years, RGS has been a place of learning and growth. Our Royal Charter, granted in 1562, is a testament to our enduring legacy. But our heritage is not a constraint; it is a launchpad for the future. We are a school that is constantly evolving, embracing modern educational practices while staying true to our core values. Our inclusive co-educational Sixth Form is a reflection of our commitment to preparing our students for the world of tomorrow.
"Where Character Shapes Every Student"
We believe that education is about more than just academic achievement. It is about shaping character, fostering integrity, and developing the leaders of the future. Through our purposeful character framework, we empower every student to speak up, step forward, and shape their own path. We are committed to nurturing confident, capable, and grounded young people with the strength of character to thrive in school and long after they leave it.
"More Than Academic Excellence"
While we are unashamedly proud of our demanding academic standards and our students’ exceptional results, we believe that a truly great education goes beyond the classroom. At RGS, every student will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of co-curricular activities, from music and drama to sport and coding. We encourage our students to be curious thinkers, creative doers, and well-rounded achievers, providing an environment where they can truly flourish.
"We Are a School That Knows You"
At the heart of RGS is a deep and genuine care for the individual. Our pastoral support is strong, visible, and ever-evolving, ensuring that every student feels known, valued, and supported. Our teachers go beyond knowing names; they understand each student's personality, strengths, and potential. Whether a day student or a boarder, each individual is part of a close-knit, respectful community where they can be themselves.
We seek to equip our students with the tools to be inspirational leaders as they embark upon careers of distinction, influence, and service. I encourage you to visit us and experience the unique spirit of RGS for yourself.
