RGS, an honest review from a former pupil
I loved RGS. Many happy memories, the most amazing friends, and grades that I will be forever indebted to the school for helping me to achieve are just some of the reasons I would recommend sending your kids there.
They don't care about the students safety
Embarrassingly bad response to my parents email warning the school about my cousins abusive mother. The school doesn't care about the well being of their students unless their grades are struggling.
Disgusting response overall to the situation and every parent should be wary about sending their child to this place.

Do NOT let your child BOARD
Pushy, all they care about are grades, do NOT care about child welfare, the pressure on the children and their mental health.
During my last year there, a boy in boarding attempted suicide by cutting his wrists and a girl in boarding took an overdose.
Most of the boarders hate it there, nothing to do after school. Food is awful. Housemistress doesn’t care and is never there, when she is she just shouts all the time.
Certainly don’t let your child board!

Don't go here
No matter what everyone and Ofsted say, it is not a good school. There is so much homework sometimes up to 3 pieces a day, that's 15 pieces a week. There is so much pressure to be amazing and all they care about is grades, exams and sport. Lots of the teachers make pupils feel uncomfortable and some are even racist and sexist but they are under-staffed so choose to ignore it and there is barely any support for the people who need it. The uniform is expensive and over priced and they are so strict over the stupidest things. The worst part is, you have to take a test to get in there so you feel cheated out of the time you spent trying to get in to this school expecting it to be amazing. Their food is awful aswell as over priced and their system is awful meaning you spend half your lunch queuing to buy a burnt cold panini. They leave all the front gates open with no one looking after them meaning literally anyone could walk into the school too. They are also awful at sending out information but expect them to tell you everything and know everything that they didn't tell you too. Just don't send your kids here or get your hopes up if you have to go.
