Information and Fees

Academic Achievement 2026

Boarders achieved over 94% at A* - B at A level with over 60% at A* - A.

This was over 10 % higher than the equivalent of day students at RGS. RGS boarders have outperformed the day students for the twelfth year in succession.

RGS prides itself on the exceptional experience enjoyed by our boarders and also on the outstanding value for money that our boarding package provides. Our fees are approximately one third of the cost of an independent school in the UK and, as a state boarding school, there are also no tuition fees to be paid.
