Young children often ask the most fascinating questions. Such inquisitiveness is very much to be encouraged, particularly in the face of exam specifications dictating what students “need to know to pass.”
Welcome
Newcastle upon Tyne Royal Grammar School (RGS) is a leading independent, fully co-educational day school for boys and girls aged 7 -18 years (Years 3 to 13). Located on Eskdale Terrace in Jesmond, in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, the school benefits from excellent transport links with students travelling to RGS from all over the region.
RGS is thriving, with over 1,300 students, including more than 250 in the Junior School, which shares the same outstanding site as the Senior School. Our Sixth Form is one of the largest in the independent sector with more than 340 students.
RGS is a special place, known and respected throughout the whole country as well as the North East. It's a place where aspirations are high, results are outstanding and opportunities are endless. Our students go on to study highly selective courses at the most sought-after universities, but also leave the school realising that life outside the classroom has been equally beneficial.
