Join the RGS Festive Food Bank Collection this Christmas.....

RGS has a festive food bank this year! Four beautifully decorated boxes are under the library Christmas tree, their artistic finery courtesy of Year 7. Inspired by their reading of A Christmas Carol, they were quick to realise Dickens' message of kindness and compassion is as relevant now as it was in 1843. 

We are supporting One Can Trust, a local food bank, and we would be delighted if you would like to donate. Happily, there's still time! The deadline for donations is Thurs 12 Dec, so please either send in your son(s) weighed down with wonderful tins, dried goods, or toiletries, or bring them to Reception.

Our school community always gives generously; may I take this opportunity to thank you for doing so this time, too. Happy Christmas!


CELEBRATING 70 YEARS OF ROWING.......

Do support their online auction and birthday bash!

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas online auction - now LIVE!

This is your chance to bid for some great Christmas gifts, including a private pavilion at Henley Royal Regatta, at the same time as helping raise funds for boats, blades and equipment so that all those boys at RGS who want to experience rowing as an extra-curricular sport can continue to do so.

The auction is now open and closes on Saturday 14 December. Click below to see and bid for the fantastic prizes. Don’t forget to check regularly as new items will be added soon.

We would like to thank all the businesses who have so generously donated auction items.

Thank you for your support and generous bidding!
